COLUMBIA, S.C. – Rapper Kanye West, in his first event since declaring himself a presidential candidate, delivered a lengthy monologue Sunday touching on topics from abortion and religion to international trade and licensing deals.
Whether he's actually seeking the nation's highest office remains a question.West said that while he believes abortion should be legal, financial incentives to help struggling mothers could be a way to discourage the practice.“Everybody that has a baby gets a million dollars,” he said as an example.Wearing a protective vest and with “2020” shaved into his head, the entertainer spoke before a crowd in North Charleston, South Carolina.
