Donald Trump Inauguration Chair: Kanye West Not Considered for 'Traditionally American' Event

FUSE TV - Donald Trump Inauguration Chair: Kanye West Not Considered for 'Traditionally American' Event

Earlier this week, Tom Barrack, a pal of Donald Trump's and the man in charge of his Presidential Inaugural Committee, told CNN that the squad didn't ask their beloved member Kanye West to perform on Friday. Everyone is just now noticing, which is good, because this is some BS. Prepare the #smh GIFs:

"No, we haven't asked him. I mean, he's been great. He considers himself a friend of the President-elect, but it's not the venue. The venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it's perfect. It's going to be typically and traditionally American. And Kanye is a great guy, we just haven't asked him to perform. We move on with our agenda."
