Washington, D.C.--As the U.S. Senate was poised to reject health care legislation that contains provisions for a government-run “public option,” rapper Kanye West stormed the podium, grabbed the microphone from a Senator opposing the bill, and began rambling.“Yo Senator, I’m really happy for you and all that freedom and doctor choice stuff,” said Kanye before a shocked audience. “I’ll let you finish, but Obama has one of the best government-run health care programs of all time!”
Kanye is also notorious for saying “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” following the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.
The rapper apologized on Twitter following his outburst, writing, “i’m sooooo sorry to freedom lovin fans. i like the part of the constitution that talks about limited government stuff! … i’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from that moment! … but Obamacare’s the best program of the millennia! everybody wanna booooo me but i’m a fan of rationing! No disrespect but … well you know! i’m still happy for the constitution thing! Boooyaaawwww! you are very very talented Mr. J. Madison, A-Ham, and my boy Jeff-son! … i’m not crazy yall ...”
