Kim Kardashian celebrated her recent visit to the White House by showing off her signature millennial pout for the ultimate selfie.
“Can’t wait to tell you all about second chances at the White House today,” Kardashian, 43, wrote on her Instagram Story on Thursday, April 25. “Thank you, Madame Vice President.”
The Kardashians Star flashed a peace sign as she posed for a photo on the front lawn of the historic grounds in Washington, DC. She also puckered her lips as she gave her followers a look at the president’s workplace.
Kardashian wore a black blazer and her long brunette locks fell gently around her face. She completed the look with gold eyeshadow and nude lips.
A few hours earlier, Kardashian shared a picture of the President of the United States (who is currently in office). Joe Biden) Seal of the Oval Office. The reality star also shared a closer look at the White House itself and the lush greenery that surrounds the massive building.
Kardashian was on hand to meet with the vice president Kamala Harris, who hosted a meeting on criminal justice reform in the Roosevelt Room. The White House Director of Public Engagement also took part in the panel Steve Benjamin and several recently pardoned former prisoners.
“I want to thank Kim for your advocacy and for using your platform in a way that really drove home the importance of talking about and advocating for second chances,” Harris opened, according to a statement from the White House shared video of the meeting.
Kardashian visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the first time during his term as president Donald TrumpDuring his term in 2018, he discussed prison reform and sentencing and called for him to grant clemency to a first-time drug offender. Trump, 77, was later pardoned Alice Marie Johnsonand Kardashian has continued to work to help others in similar situations get justice.
During this week’s meeting, Kardashian weighed in on Biden’s decision on Wednesday, April 25, to grant clemency to 16 inmates. He pardoned eleven of the prisoners and commuted the sentences of the remaining five.
“I’m so honored to be here today to hear your stories and I think it’s so important to share and amplify them because there are so many people in your position who could use the inspiration Kardashian said, according to the report USA today, looking at the four former inmates who took part in the discussion. “I’m just here to help and spread the word.”
The Skims founder later reflected on her work as an advocate for the wrongfully incarcerated, saying, “It was actually that very room I was in years ago, at my first clemency meeting, that really inspired me to take a journey.”
She recalled, “I didn’t know much and was inspired to go to law school and really educate myself to see what I could do to help.” Kardashian announced in May 2019 that she was preparing to take the bar exam. In December 2021, she stated that she had passed the “Baby Bar” exam, but had not yet passed the official exam and become a full-fledged lawyer.
Kardashian appeared to be in good spirits during her visit to the White House, although it seemed to have dragged on lately Taylor Swift‘S The Tortured Poets Department Album.
Swift, 34, raised eyebrows earlier this month when she released the song “thanK you aIMee,” which eagle-eyed fans believe is about Kardashian since the capital letters spell “Kim.”
In the song, Swift alludes to her past drama with Kardashian, which began in 2009, as Kardashian’s now ex-husband Kanye West, interrupted Swift’s MTV VMAs acceptance speech. (Kardashian and West, 46, divorced in 2021.)
West claimed in his 2016 song “Famous” that the awards show scandal helped Swift gain even greater fame. When Swift claimed she hadn’t signed West’s text about her, Kardashian defended the rapper and leaked a phone conversation between the two, again without Swift’s consent.
While the feud seemed to calm down over the years, Swift reignited it with her TTPD album and the lyrics that referenced Kardashian.
“When I imagine my hometown / There’s a bronze, spray-tanned statue of you,” Swift sings, seemingly describing Los Angeles. “And a plaque underneath / That threatens to push me down the stairs of our school.”
Swift also called Kardashian, or rather Aimee, a bully who “threw punches” while she was “building something.”
“Kim is not happy about this but doesn’t want to add fuel to the fire,” a source said exclusively Us weekly of Kardashian’s reaction to Swift’s “Thanks, AIMee.”
The insider claimed Kardashian “had no idea she would be part of this narrative” and was “upset that Taylor still harbors negative feelings toward her.”
Kardashian hasn’t publicly commented on the song, but she did share it Jimmy Kimmel on Monday, April 22, that “life is good.”
