Kim Kardashian West spoke at a White House event on felons re-entering the workforce: 'These people want to work. They want the best outcome.' She thanked Pres. Trump for 'standing behind this issue.'
Reality show star-turned activist Kim Kardashian West had a starring role at a criminal justice reform event at the White House on Thursday."It's really is such an honor to be here," she said, describing how she had gotten involved advocating for former inmates after making numerous visits to prisons.
“I’m so happy to announce today we have a ride share partnership where formerly incarcerated people will be gifted gift cards” she said, allowing them to get to job interviews. As the event began, Kardashian West had a front row seat at the East Room event, sitting in between the president's daughter and senior adviser, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, senior adviser Jared Kushner.
Since that meeting, Kardashian West kept in touch with Jared Kushner who has led White House efforts on prison reform.
