Kanye West continues to create outrage.
The outspoken rapper contended in a new interview that George Floyd died of the drug fentanyl, and not from the actions of the Minnesota police officer who was convicted of his murder.
“They hit him with the fentanyl. If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that,” West claimed on Sunday’s episode of the Revolt TV show “Drink Champs.”
West, 45, made the claim after saying he recently attended the premiere of “Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM,” a documentary by conservative commentator Candace Owens.

Even if they win, everyone will know. All the evidence will be much more publicized because of celebrity culture. Which is a comment on how low we have fallen.
Last I heard you can’t slander or libel the dead.
LOL, love it.
St. George was a felon and a drug addict.
Big Mike committed strong arm robbery before attacking a cop and getting smoked
Trayvon was a POS
Great black role models...
West speaks the truth.
How can it be grounds for a lawsuit?
Find the right ambulance-chasing lawyer, and corrupt leftist judge and court, and it happens.
The organized left only selects the worst to stir riots, so that it’s a clear instance of doublethink (cognitive dissonance) — committing crime and violence in the name of “justice” under the name of a person who died committing crime and violence.
It’s very important to them that people get used to denying the evidence of their senses and the leadings of any real logic, before they can implement a world in which truth is what the Party says at any given moment.
They won't sue for slander. They will sue for the mental suffering Kanye caused them by saying this.
OK that's just a guess, but betcha.
Kanye West: the face of white supremacy....
I read the toxicology report. Floyd had enough fentanyl in him to kill him IIRC.
Everyone knows that is the is truth. Many don’t care what the truth is.
I’d be interested in seeing the objective evidence that his (abandoned) family was harmed through Ye’s alleged defamation of a dead man.
Oh...and their list of witnesses that attest to St. George’s upstanding (pun intended) character.
Maybe they can get one of his co-workers from the strip-club to testify.
You know, officer Chauvin.
> Last I heard you can’t slander or libel the dead. <
I suppose Floyd’s family could sue for “emotional distress”. The Sandy Hook parents got Alex Jones on something like that.
Jones presented his views as a 100% fact, and not just as his opinion. Did West do the same? If not, West might have an out.
This is 100% true. Derek Chauvin is a completely innocent man who was railroaded to satisfy the black and Democrat-led mob.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together who has read the autopsy already knew this.
Yeah. If he was sitting at home watching TV, he’d be just as dead, and nobody would have heard of him.
Correct. That part of the autopsy had all the numbers.
Samuel Francis:
Then sue. Fentanyl contributed. The autopsy said so.

-——Theodore Dalrymple———
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that
the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.
When people are forced to remain silent when they
are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become
evil oneself.
One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even
destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is
intended to.”

Lawsuit? For what can they money grubbing lawyers sue him?
As an apparent minority-minority Kanye is more equal on this issue
George Floyd was a bad guy.
Kanye is NOT someone to be supported right now.
