Reality television star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian West responded simply, “never say never” when asked if would she ever run for public office.
In an interview with CNN’s “The Van Jones Show,” Kardashian West said it was not probable that she would run, although she hasn’t eliminated the possibility altogether.
“I guess never say never,” Kardashian West answered. “But that’s not going to be like, Kim’s running. That’s not where I am.”
The comments come after Kardashian West urged for the commutation of Alice Johnson, who had been behind bars for nearly 22 years and was sentenced to life in prison following her conviction for a nonviolent drug offense.
Last week, President Trump issued an order to commute Johnson’s life sentence.
“I honestly saw that if I could use my platform just to do something for one person, that it opens the conversation for so much more and for other people to want to do the same thing,” Kardashian West said.
“If more people would just put their personal feelings aside and talk about really important issues that have to be discussed, then so much more can get done,” she added.
Kardashian signaled that Johnson wouldn’t be the only incarcerated woman she would help, and said she would like to assist others behind bars.
“No matter who you talk to, no matter what political party, people feel what’s right is right, and that’s what I love about this, is that it can just be so bipartisan,” she said.
