Kim Kardashian, the multifaceted media personality, entrepreneur, and social justice advocate, has always had a keen interest in politics. Known for her influential presence in Hollywood and social media, Kardashian has utilized her platform to raise awareness on various social issues. While her ex-husband Kanye West has been openly supportive of former President Donald Trump, Kardashian has walked a more moderate line, refraining from publicly endorsing any candidates, including Vice President Kamala Harris, as the election approaches on November 5.
In a surprising twist, Kim Kardashian's son, Saint West, recently found himself in a bit of trouble after his YouTube account was deleted. The eight-year-old launched his channel, @TheGoatSaint, back in September, but it quickly became inaccessible following the posting of an anti-Kamala Harris meme. The deletion left viewers with an error message reading, "This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else."
The controversial meme featured a cartoon character humorously expressing disdain for Harris by lifting his foot to reveal her image stuck to his shoe. Unsurprisingly, this didn't sit well with YouTube, prompting speculation that Kardashian had intervened to remove the post due to its inappropriateness for a child. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that Kardashian "took [Saint's] phone," echoing the sentiment that the upload was a bit too edgy for her young son. Some even joked that the incident was "like father, like son," drawing parallels to Kanye's past support for Trump.
Kardashian, who also shares daughters North, 11, and Chicago, 6, along with son Psalm, 5, has previously discussed the parameters around her children's social media activity. Just last month, she took to Instagram to announce Saint's new YouTube venture, inviting her followers to subscribe. She shared a snapshot of an "extensive contract" that her son had to sign, which outlined strict guidelines for his content creation.

The contract clearly stated that Saint was prohibited from sharing any personal family information or filming while North was recording music. It even mandated that he must show his mom all videos before posting and grant permission to any adult if she requested a video deletion.
Kim's proactive approach aims to keep her children safe in the often unpredictable world of social media. North was the first to dive into the social media scene, creating TikTok videos with Kardashian since 2021. Despite Kanye's previous objections to their children's online presence, Kardashian expressed her commitment to support North's creativity in a 2023 interview with Time magazine.
Since Kim and Kanye finalized their divorce in 2022 after six years of marriage, she has moved on to date comedian Pete Davidson, while Kanye has wed Bianca Censori, a Yeezy employee. Amidst this whirlwind of personal and public challenges, Kardashian remains a devoted mother, keen to guide her children as they navigate their lives in the limelight.
