Journalist Bari Weiss expressed admiration for reality star and activist Kim Kardashian Thursday after she dismissed left-wing critics of her meeting with then-President Donald Trump on criminal justice reform issues.
On her podcast "Honestly," Weiss pointed out to Kardashian that her work with the Trump White House angered liberal critics at the time. Kardashian was among the voices who pushed Trump to support the First Step Act, a criminal justice reform bill, and in 2018 she lobbied him specifically to commute the life sentence of Alice Johnson, who spent more than 20 years in prison for a nonviolent drug offense.
"You were really credited for helping swing Trump's support for the First Step Act. There were a lot of people on the left that gave you a lot of s---," Weiss said.
"Yeah," Kardashian said.
"Criticized you a lot for working with Trump, for normalizing him. What do you say to that?" Weiss asked.
"I really don't care about the criticism," Kardashian said. "I mean, my reputation over someone's life? Destroy me then. I really don't care. It was not even an option, and he did the right thing. I'm just about doing the right thing, and I'm really not about politics at all. It's really about the people inside."
