Kanye West: I Want to Set Up a Meeting Between Trump and Colin Kaepernick

Kanye West (or Ye as he’s calling himself these days) thinks he can be a peacemaker between Donald Trump and Colin Kaepernick.

The rapper gave an interview to TMZ’s Harvey Levin on Monday, saying he’s trying to arrange a meeting at the White House between the president and the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.

“I’ve been calling Colin this morning, reaching him, so I can bring Colin to the White House and we can remove that ‘sons of bitches’ statement and we can be on the same page,” said West. “We never give up on anyone. We move forward. We give love. We keep going. We keep having the conversation, until the conversation turns to love, we keep going.”

West has been raising eyebrows again with his most recent political statements. He was booed when he went on a pro-Trump tangent during his appearance on Saturday Night Live, and over the weekend he blasted the 13th Amendment (which abolished slavery nationwide after the Civil War).

It’s unclear if Kaepernick or Trump would be interested in West’s proposal for a meeting, given the complicated dynamic between the two. Kaepernick became the face of the protest movement among NFL players, and Trump attacks players kneeling in protest during the anthem on a regular basis.
