Kourtney Kardashian was called ‘reckless’ and more for sharing an Instagram swipe-up link for a hat from Kanye West’s 2020 presidential campaign website. Even a few celebrities called the ‘KUWTK’ star out!

Kourtney Kardashian’s attempt to show support for her brother-in-law Kanye West, 43, ahead of the U.S. presidential election was met with outrage. Kanye is now on the ballot in 12 states (however, he’s listed as the running mate alongside American Independent Party presidential nominee Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente in California). So, on Oct. 16, Kourtney took to her Instagram Story to post a selfie of herself rocking a “Vote Kanye” hat — and even provided a swipe-up link to buy the $40 hat from Kanye’s 2020 presidential campaign website.

this is so embarrassing @kourtneykardash. pic.twitter.com/23Kfo9dItU

Kanye has faced widespread criticism since announcing his presidential run in July, as many Americans fear that the famous rapper will be taking away votes from Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden (Kanye is running with the “Birthday Party”). So, fans were shaken by Kourtney’s public support for the Yeezy founder, given the Keeping Up with the Kardashian star’s immense platform. “Kourtney kardashian posting an insta story to her 102 MILLION followers encouraging them to vote for kanye is one of the most irresponsible, egregious and reckless uses of that family’s platform that i’ve ever seen,” one such critic tweeted.

@kourtneykardash I’m aware that you live in a bubble and you’re delusional to real life struggles- but please realize the impact of your Kanye endorsement. There are THOUSANDS of people dying under the Trump administration right now. It’s not a fucking joke.

— Kevin 🍀 (@kevinohsnap) October 16, 2020

Another fan pointed out Donald Trump administration’s immigration policies that have torn families apart and its handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S., writing, “I thought Kourtney Kardashian was more sensible than this. Kids have been locked in cages. 200,000+ Americans dead. And she is using her platform to promote voting for Kanye. Madness.”

Celebrities like RuPaul’s Drag Race star Kameron Michaels and Tyler Oakley even chimed in! “I had to check for myself [emoji] I don’t care if this is a mistake or a joke. Your platform is too big for you to do anything irresponsible like this. Fix it @kourtneykardash and do NOT write in or vote for @kanyewest,” Kameron wrote, while Tyler simply tweeted, “this is so embarrassing.” 

I had to check for myself 🤨 I don’t care if this is a mistake or a joke. Your platform is too big for you to do anything irresponsible like this. Fix it @kourtneykardash and do NOT write in or vote for @kanyewest that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/YxMhAognwA

Another fan found Kourtney’s promotional post for Kanye’s merch hypocritical, given the healthy lifestyle brand she has built with her Poosh blog. “@kourtneykardashian touts herself as a person who wants a kinder, cleaner, better world for her kids but is recklessly promoting a Vote for Kanye which = a vote for Trump. She knows the reach of her platform tshe should know better,” the critic wrote.
Speaking of Poosh, another merch item from Kanye’s presidential campaign website — the “Kanye 2020 Vision Double Layered Hoodie” — was listed on a “Best Voter Merch” shopping guide on Kourtney’s website. The rest of the items on the list encouraged shoppers to vote, although the products had no clear political affiliation.
