Insane Clown Posse have publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for the next President of the United States.

The US hip-hop duo’s Violent J expressed his support for the Democratic candidate during a recent edition of the late-night satirical news TV programme The Daily Show.

“I want her to win because she’s a Democrat, and I love my mom,” the rapper told comedian Troy Iwata. He also responded to whether he would accept a Presidential nomination.

“Fuck that – no!” Violent J said. “No amount of money. You’ve gotta go places, they give you an itinerary, you’ve gotta get up all early and shit.”

The rapper went on to say a clear “fuck no” to mass deportation, adding: “Now I remember why I hated Trump – that wall shit.” Continuing to talk about the former POTUS and current Republican candidate, he told Iwata: “Fuck him. Because he’s all about that wall.”

Later, he shared his thoughts on women’s rights (“they have the right to be the fucking shit!”), environmental conservation (“we think we’re the superior fucking animal on this planet…”) and progressive tax (“…less taxes on the poor, more taxes on the rich”).

But Violent J failed to identify Harris’ Vice President candidate, Tim Walz, admitting: “I’m absolutely opinionless on that man.”

After endorsing Harris, the rapper asked Iwata how to pronounce her first name – before calling it “fresh”.

The segment was filmed at the Gathering Of The Juggalos festival in Thornville, Ohio – which was co-founded by Insane Clown Posse and their label, Psychopathic Records, back in 2000.

Iwata spoke to various punters about their voting intentions, and touched on topics such as climate change, taxes, abortion and drugs. “I’m really glad that the killer clown community has opened up to the trans community as well,” he joked.

Some attendees praised Insane Clown Posse’s political stance. “I like how Violent J’s mindset works, or Shaggy 2 Dope’s,” said one fan at the event. “I’d have them up in the White House.”
