Kim Kardashian West stands by her husband, no matter what.
As we reported in September 2018, Kanye West got booed on Saturday Night Live when his third musical performance segued into a long rant about his support for Donald Trump.

On Sunday’s episode of KUWTK, the E! show took fans behind-the-scenes of the rapper’s controversial political move.
While he was rehearsing, his 38-year-old wife admitted she was nervous about what could go down.
The mother-of-three revealed:
“I have to be honest — inside I’m kind of freaking out a little bit because live TV, you never know what could happen.”
However, after Ye’s speech went viral, Kim defended Kanye against the haters. She said:
“I know that Kanye is always going to be Kanye and I’m never trying to change that… I mean, that’s who I fell in love with and I’m not trying to change who is.”
Additionally, Scott Disick was also supportive, saying the show was “a little different,” but “overall exciting.”
Kourtney Kardashian said in the car on the way home from the show:
“[Son] Mason and I were cheering — like, [we] went crazy.”
Back in Los Angeles, mom Kris Jenner advised Kim to give Kanye “a little more attention” in order to “keep him calm.”
However, she responded:
“I have a million kids. I have a million jobs… This is all I’ve got.”
When Kris remarked, “I think he just is expecting a lot more than you’re giving,” her daughter replied:
“I don’t have any much more to give.”
The episode also touched upon the rapper’s sudden announcement that his family was moving to Chicago.
However, as we reported last month, a People source said Kanye “is excited about being in L.A. now since he has his spiritual service every Sunday.”
During his SNL speech, Kanye claimed he was “bullied” by producers who discouraged him from wearing his MAGA hat on stage.
He then ranted about liberalism in the media, saying:
“Actually, blacks weren’t always Democrats… It’s like a plan they did to take the fathers out the homes and promote welfare. Does anybody know about that? That’s the Democratic plan.”
Kanye also addressed those who are baffled by his support of Trump, who some have accused to be racist:
“It’s so many times that I talk to a white person about this, and they say, ‘How could you support Trump? He’s racist.’ Well if I was concerned about racism, I would have moved out of America a long time ago. We don’t just make our decisions off of racism. I’ma break it down to you right now: If someone inspires me and I connect with them, I don’t have to believe in all they policies.”
Afterward, Trump praised Kanye by writing on Twitter:
“Like many, I don’t watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) – no longer funny, no talent or charm. It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told “no”), was great. He’s leading the charge!”
