We all know that Kanye West is trying to run for president. But Kirsten Dunst wants to know what it has to do with her.
On Tuesday the rapper tweeted a mockup for a ‘Kanye 2020 Vision’ campaign poster, prominent with the ‘Spider-Man’ actress. Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour also makes an appearance as various activists and other figures.
“What’s the message here,” Dunst shot back on Twitter Wednesday night. “And why am I apart of it?”
A representative for Dunst confirmed to People magazine that she did not agree with the use of her image. Wintour did not either, said a source close to the editor.
West launched his unlikely bid for the presidency on July 4, and since then he has petitioned for at least 14 states to vote. On Tuesday night, the Wisconsin Electoral Commission issued a warning against the name of the rapper who appeared on the ballot, with a decision to come on Thursday morning.
Illinois and New Jersey have officially rejected West’s paperwork (the Illinois Board of Elections found 1,928 invalid signatures), while Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah and Vermont accepted it.
Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Ohio and West Virginia have yet to decide.
The new campaign poster also comes amid mounting concerns that Republican officials support the West in an apparent attempt to siphon Black support away from (now-official) Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris.
Dunst, for their part, signed Sen Bernie Sanders back in March.
