Kanye's Lawyer Challenges Democrats To Prove 'Mickey Mouse' Didn't Sign Wisconsin Ballot Petition

When Kanye West announced he was running for President in 2020, we knew it would be a wild ride, and he has certainly delivered.


First he filed his paperwork running on "The Birthday Party" and held a rally at which he claimed Harriet Tubman did not free any slaves. Then his wife, Kim Kardashian, opened up about Kanye's bi-polar diagnosis even as Republican operatives have signed on with West to assist him in trying to get on the ballot in some decisive states, including Wisconsin.

Recently, there has been a bit of drama after his Wisconsin signatures were filed seconds after the deadline, and now the signatures themselves are under scrutiny.

Including the signature of one Mickey Mouse.

The Democratic Party challenged the filing on the grounds of tardiness as well as containing suspect signatures for "Mickey Mouse" and "Bernie Sanders.". Incorrect addresses for circulators and affidavits from individuals claiming they were duped into signing doesn't help West's case either.

And now his lawyers are defending those signatures as totally real and challenging Democrats to prove they're not.

That is what it's come to.




The campaign's lawyer, Michael Curran has challenged the Democratic Party to prove the signatures are fake.

In a filing responding to the challenges, Curran writes:

"A complainant cannot simply raise an issue, with little or no evidence, and shift the burden to the candidate to prove validity—which is what Complainant attempts to do here. As such, and purported challenges, with little or no supporting evidence, should be dismissed."

Again, this is over the signature of Mickey Mouse to put Kanye West on the ballot for president.




As this story unfolds, the sinister nature of the campaign can't be understated. West's campaign is receiving a lot of help from Republican strategists and lawyers.

It's believed they are doing this to draw votes away from Joe Biden in the presidential election, and help Donald Trump. It wouldn't be surprising, considering Rachel George, a Republican strategist in Colorado is helping West's campaign.

Despite this, news about the signatures led to people cracking jokes about the absurdity of having to prove Mickey Mouse isn't real.

What will come of the filing remains to be seen, but the Democratic Party is not issuing comments.

Whether or not West's campaign got signatures from Mickey Mouse and Bernie Sanders, the story of West's run doesn't look to be ending any time soon.

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.
