UPDATED: In the past, Kim Kardashian has been pretty vocal about her support for Hillary Clinton. But in a recent interview with Wonderland Magazine, the reality star apparently revealed shes now on the fence about her presidential pick, thanks to a few conversations shes had with Caitlyn Jenner. At first I thought, Oh my god, Im so Hillary [Clinton], but I had a long political call with Caitlyn last night about why shes voting Trump. Im on the fence, she purportedly said in an excerpt posted by The Evening Standard.
After the comment went viral, a representative for Wonderland denied the Kardashian quotes appear in the published issue, or online; according to The Huffington Post, however, the quotes are legitimate. Kardashians Trump statement also still appears on the Evening Standard website.
An email to the Evening Standard was not immediately returned; the author of the Wonderland story, Eve Barlow, directed inquiries to Wonderland and representatives for Kardashian. Reps for Kardashian were not immediately available for comment.
Jenner has been outspoken about her politics, and on her now cancelled docu- series I Am Cait, professed support for Trump. [H]e would be very good for womens issues, she said, adding that Clinton was a political hack.
As for Kardashian, she came out in support of Clinton after posting a selfie with the Democratic nominee for president last year.
While the interview with Wonderland does not include the specific quotes about Trump, there is a mention of Trumps wife, Melania. Speaking about a potential presidential run by Kanye West, Kardashians husband, the reality television star said, Look at all the awful things theyre doing to Melania [Trump], putting up the naked photos [of her]
Ill say to Kanye: Babe, you know the kind of photos theyd put up of me! Haha.
As for what party West would run under, Kardashian didnt say specifically. I dont wanna put words in his mouth, but Im pretty sure the Democrats. Maybe independent? I dont know how serious he is about it. Well see
At last years MTV Video Music Awards, West said he would run for president in 2020. In an interview with Vanity Fair last year, West said he was definitely thinking about running for the countrys highest office. When I run for president, Id prefer not to run against someone, he added at the time. I would be like I want to work with you. As soon as I heard [Ben] Carson speak, I tried for three weeks to get on the phone with him. I was like this is the most brilliant guy. And I think all the people running right now have something that each of the others needs. But the idea of this separation and this gladiator battle takes away from the main focus that the world needs help and the world needs all the people in a position of power or influence to come together.
Poster Comment:
Denzel Washington came out for Trump because people need jobs. (Not him but black people and working class whites).
Now Caitlyn Jenner and Kim Kardashian are for Trump. Only the crazies are left. I hope the Witch stays in the race until November 8th.
