The one thing Kim Kardashian likes about Kanye West’s support of Trump

Kim Kardashian sat down on The Alec Baldwin Show, where the reality star admitted that she thinks Alice Marie Johnson would still be in prison today if her husband Kanye West wasn’t a Trump supporter. I do believe she would still be in prison,” Kardashian told Alec Baldwin. “Alice and I spoke about this. We spoke on the phone yesterday, and we've spoke about this a few times. She always says, Alice always says, ‘If it wasn't for Kanye speaking up in support of Trump,’ then she would still be in jail.” Earlier this year, Kardashian met with Donald Trump at the White House, where she successfully persuaded the President to grant a pardon for Johnson, who was sentenced to life in prison, without the possibility of parole, after playing a small part in one drug deal. “She was the phone mule,” Kardashian explained to Baldwin. “She didn't know who, she didn't know how much, what kind of drugs. She didn't know anything. She had to say one sentence. Some weird sentence, and that was it.” Kim also admitted that it was in the wake of her Paris robbery, which took place two years ago, that she began to take interest in prison reform, and that Johnson was just the beginning for her.

“I think I just want to continue doing what I'm doing. I feel like I have a voice. They're listening. We're making, you know, positive things happen. I'm very focused,” Kardashian told Baldwin, who then asked what her next move is. Kardashian responded, “The bigger goal is to get these bills passed that really change the laws to, you know, make the distinction, between, you know, crack and cocaine completely separate and just start getting people out.” Kardashian also shared that she is currently putting up her own money to fund cases that she’s passionate about,and that she reads letters and stories from people in prison all the time. However, she won’t just take on any case. “I felt like Alice Johnson found me. You know? Like, I connected with her, so I really do have to connect,” said Kardashian. While Kardashian has become an advocate for criminal justice reform, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star still maintains that she’s not “so into politics” and, unlike her husband, she knows where to draw the line. “I wasn't really into politics as much until, I think, more recently. And even so, I'm not so into politics. I'll find something that I believe in, and I figured out how to use my voice in that area, but as far as when it does come to my business, to me, it's all very separate.”
