During his Pablo Tour stop in California on Thursday night, the rapper stopped performing several times to wax poetic about politics; including the fact that he “would have” voted for Racist McRacist Face. Which basically means, West did not vote at all. Which basically means, you really shouldn’t be talking.

Two Twitter users in attendance documented West’s political spiel, and needless to say, it was all over the place:

Another show stopped. Kanye is asking who voted for Hillary, mixed cheers and boos. Kanye is calling out Trump supporters.

"There are Hillary supporters that may be louder, but MY fact is that there are people who who voted for Trump here at the show"

"I'm not asking ya'll on your opinions on who's better, but there are people who voted for either side that come together for music"

"Echoing is what made people think Hillary was going to win, you thought because what the Internet was telling you, that she was gonna win"
