Fans online have reacted to the hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse slamming Donald Trump and endorsing Kamala Harris. The United States Presidential campaign has reached its final stages with less than two weeks left until November 5.
In an October interview on The Daily Show with comedian Troy Iwata, the duo's Violent J explained why he supported Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. He said:
“I want her [Kamala Harris] to win because she’s a Democrat, and I love my mom.”
The segment was filmed at the Gathering of the Juggalos festival in Thornville. The event was first founded by the band and their recording label Psychopathic Records back in 2000.
Speaking about the former President's policies of mass deportation and building a massive wall, the rapper described them with a clear 'f*ck no.'
“Now I remember why I hated Trump – that wall shit," he added. "F8ck him. Because he's all about that wall."
The rapper also learned how to pronounce the name of the Democratic supremo, describing her candidature as 'fresh.'
Fans on X joked about the entire discourse, trolling the Republican candidate and coming up with fresh new quips to describe the band's comments on Donald Trump. Many Republican supporters, meanwhile, trolled the duo. Some popular reactions on X were as follows:
"Trump loses the endorsement of his own kind," wrote a fan on X.
"Never thought I'd see the day that ICP and Eminem agreed on something," commented another.
"Of course they do, they're against hate etc. etc," added another user.
One fan described the conversation as the 'Mandate of Heaven.'
"It’s over. We have secured the Mandate of Heaven," the fan chimed in.
"Trailer park residents below the Mason-Dixon Line in shambles right now," commented another.
Some Republican fans, however, slammed the hip-hop duo.
"Clowns endorse clown ok," tweeted a netizen.
"The part they don’t mention is that everybody voting for her is an insane clown," agreed another.
In addition to his voting preference, Violent J and Iwata spoke on various topics including taxes, abortion, climate change, etc.
Insane Clown Posse's Violent J once slammed The Atlantic for comparing Donald Trump with the band
In 2021, Violent J lambasted The Atlantic for publishing an opinion piece about Donald Trump's departure from the White House, where the former President was seen as “the political equivalent of the Insane Clown Posse.”
Written by Graeme Wood, the piece ended with the line:
“It is ending in Juggalo style (some have called it “Trumpalo”), violently and pointlessly, with a handful of deaths, the smearing of various bodily fluids, and a riot on the way out.”
Violent J slammed the article and the people behind publishing it in a series of texts to the Huffington Post. He said:
“I can’t believe TheAtlantic.com would hire a writer, presumably for his expertise in journalism who’s that off the mark, as well as an editor for his or her fact checking abilities who obviously lives within a reality separate from our own when it comes to defining who Juggalos truly are and what they’re about."
He also criticized "media in general" in a follow-up text, explaining how posts like these make him lose faith in everything he reads.
