1:31Now PlayingKanye West held his first presidential rally on Sunday since he initially announced his candidacy on July 4.
During the event, the rapper ranted against historical figure Harriet Tubman, saying the Underground Railroad conductor “never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people," comments that drew shouts of opposition from some in the crowd.
He also touched on abortion, recalling a time when he and now-wife Kim Kardashian thought about having an abortion. "I almost killed my daughter," he said while overwhelmed with tears. West added that while he believes it should be legal, financial incentives to help struggling mothers could be a way to discourage the practice. “Everybody that has a baby gets a million dollars,” he said as an example.
Speaking without a microphone, West became tearful at one point while talking about his mother, who died following plastic surgery complications in 2007.
