After a week of events alternating from dismal to horrific, the news took a turn for the absurd on Tuesday, complete with a rapper and fashion mogul exiting from “Blexit” and a 20-year-old con man apparently attempting to frame the former FBI director and current special counsel investigating the 2016 election for sexual assault.

In Chapter One of this saga, Kanye West turned on his former friend, Turning Point USA Communications Director Candace Owens. Owens, fresh off a media blitz promoting “Blexit” — Brexit, but for black Americans to leave the “Democrat plantation” — repeatedly bragged over the weekend that West designed the logos and color schemes for Blexit merchandise.
