MAGA Twitter celebrated the release of Kanye West’s new Christian-themed album Jesus is King on Friday.
In response to the ninth album from West, a rapper who recently embraced Trumpism, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) declared, “Can’t wait to listen,” before quoting the lyrics from the Chick-fil-A-themed track Closed on Sunday.

Closed on Sunday —
“Raise our sons, train them in the faith
Through temptations, make sure they’re wide awake
Follow Jesus, listen and obey
No more livin’ for the culture, we nobody’s slave”— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) October 25, 2019
Mike Cernovich posted, “Kanye West didn’t lie; Jesus Is King is a gospel album. Not because of its choirs, but because of the content. He put Jesus at the forefront, and never lost sight of Christ throughout the album’s 11 tracks.”

“Kanye’s music is his art is his soul, Jesus is King doesn’t feel fully finished because neither is Kanye fully complete in his spiritual walk,” Cernovich wrote.

Conservative author Pamela Geller called the album “Undeniably tremendous,” adding, “The left is gonna rip it cuz it’s all Gd. @kanyewest is a visionary. He either walks alone or raises an army.”
It’s everything

In the conservative Washington Examiner, journalist Madeline Fry wrote, “The album flows like one of West’s secretive gatherings in the hills of California. Exuberant and eclectic, it appeals to a new audience, one you never could have expected to flock to religion, or to West.”
Dozens of other conservatives also celebrated the album’s release, including Blaze TV’s Allie Beth Stuckey and actress Anna Khait.

Jesus is King is a call for a multi-front reformation
It convicts a society that has turned from God to worship of man
It simultaneously convicts hypocritical Evangelical Christianity and their fake obsession with the law
Kanye gets it ?

Impressive album. Lots of scripture in it. My favorite song is Jesus is Lord. Praise God! He’s awakening lost souls. May Kanye be even more blessed! Who the Son sets free is free indeed ?? https://t.co/KVlnv9eCy0

The left will tear down Kanye’s album because they have a vendetta against Jesus and the church. #JesusIsKing

I thought the “Closed on Sunday” song was a joke. Nope. It is real.

On the left of the political spectrum, The Young Turks’ Emma Vigeland and frequent Trump reply guy Tony Posnanski expressed their distaste for the new album.
I’m done pretending Kanye’s music is still great. It’s been meh for a while.
Genius
College Dropout (04), Late Registration (05), Graduation (07), MBDTF (10), Watch the Throne (11)Good
808s (08), Yeezus (13), Pablo (16)Subpar
Ye (18), Kids See Ghosts (18), Jesus Is King (19)— Emma Vigeland (@EmmaVigeland) October 25, 2019
The Kanye album is straight up embarrassing.
What the fuck with that Closed On Sunday shit.
