Kim Kardashian takes down son Saint West's YouTube channel for posting some edgy Kamala Harris memes
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s son Saint West may only be eight, but it seems he’s already opinionated when it comes to politics.
This week, Kim took down her son’s budding YouTube channel after two very unexpected – and very politically charged – memes popped up. The target was none other than Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to The Daily Beast, the eight-year-old's YouTube channel "@TheGoatSaint" disappeared from the platform shortly after the posts went live, with fans getting a blunt “This page isn’t available” message when they tried to view the channel.
Apparently, Saint shared a meme of Kamala Harris with a cartoon character sporting her photo on the sole of a shoe with the caption, “I stepped in s***.”
For anyone wondering if Saint had cleared this with Kim, the answer was a hard no.

It's worth noting that Kim didn’t just give Saint free rein on YouTube – she made him sign a strict contract before he could ever post something online.
Last month, she even posted the contract on her Instagram Stories, with a big announcement that she’d finally let him launch his channel but not without some rules in place.
The contract outlined the dos and don’ts of YouTube life for Saint. "I, Saint West, agree to follow my mom’s rules in order to have a YouTube channel. I am not allowed to comment any personal family information," it began.
There were other boundaries like not filming his siblings, especially his older sister North if she’s recording music. Before any video goes live, his mother has to approve it.
"I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them. I give permission to any grown-up if mom says to delete my video for any reason. If I don’t listen to all of the rules, mom could make my page private or delete my account," the contract stated.
JOKE CONTRACT? Oh this wasn't a joke. We will go to arbitration if needed https://t.co/vh7ArkaL6i

Kim Kardashian high-profile political ties
It’s no secret that Kim Kardahsian’s been involved in politics herself, and maybe that played a part in her decision to hit delete. The SKIMS founder's connections with both sides of the aisle are well-documented.
Back in April, she was spotted at the White House with Kamala Harris, attending a roundtable on clemency for non-violent drug offenders. Harris had some choice words on the subject, sharing that she believes in “the power of redemption."
"It's an age-old concept that transcends religions but is fundamentally about an understanding that everybody makes mistakes, and for some, that might rise to the level of it being a crime," the vice president said.
"But is it not the sign of a civil society that we allow people a way to earn their way back, and give them the support and resources they need to do that?" she asked.
Kim Kardashian has also worked closely with former president Donald Trump. In 2018, she advocated for Alice Marie Johnson, a woman serving a life sentence for non-violent drug charges. Kim’s efforts paid off, with Trump eventually commuting Johnson’s sentence.
Over the years, she’s attended meetings in the Oval Office and even credited Trump with passing the First Step Act — a major prison reform bill.
But for anyone hoping for a buddy-buddy relationship between Kim and Trump, she’s cleared that up, too.
When asked about it on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she didn’t mince words. “I don’t think he likes me very much. But I’m OK,” she said, before adding, “I think he did amazing stuff with prison reform and let a lot of people out, and signed an amazing bill – the First Step Act – and so that’s what I’ll focus on.”
