Nick Cannon is getting candid about his political views.
The comedian-producer was joined by model Amber Rose on a recent episode of his show, Big Drive, where he called the Democratic Party “the party of the KKK.”
After Rose claimed that Democrats “don’t care about Black people, don’t care about people of color and the Republicans do,” Cannon replied, “I agree with you 100 percent.”
The Masked Singer host continued, “People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves. I mean, both of you and I have some conservative views. You’re just a little bit more outspoken than I am. And honestly, I don’t subscribe to either party. I rock with W. E. B. Du Bois, when he said there’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.”
Rose added that she’s “not married to any party” but voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election because “we had two options and he was definitely by far the better option for us.”
When she said she mostly agrees with how Trump’s second term is going, Cannon enthusiastically jumped in, saying, “motherfucker’s cleaning house. He’s doing what he said he was gonna do.”
“We got the Gulf of America now,” Cannon added. “He’s like the club. He’s charging a $5 million bottle service fee to get into the country. I fuck with Trump.”
The Wild ‘N Out creator’s claims were partially correct. Regarding who founded the KKK, the white supremacist group was not established entirely by the Democratic Party, but rather by some people who were largely Democrats in the post-Civil War South, the Associated Press reported.
As for the Republican Party, it was founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists. Several years later, then-President Abraham Lincoln, a member of the Republican Party, issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, freeing all slaves living in Confederate states who were against the Union. Slavery was officially abolished in the United States when the 13th Amendment was passed in 1865.
