It seems like the Kanye West Presidential run is still on.
On Sunday afternoon, Kanye held a campaign rally in front of a small crowd in South Carolina to relay his stance on several issues for the upcoming election.
Things quickly went awry when the Chicago based rapper took a bizarre stance against political abolitionist Harriet Tubman that stunned the crowd in attendance.

The rapper cried moments later when talking about his father wanting to abort him.

He would then go on to suggest the government should give people a million dollars every time they have babies.
