In a surprising endorsement that’s sure to stir up buzz, Violent J from the Insane Clown Posse (ICP) has officially thrown his support behind Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election. In a candid and colorful interview with comedian Troy Iwata on The Daily Show, the rapper shared his thoughts on why Harris is his top pick for the White House.
“I want her to win because she’s a Democrat, and I love my mom,” Violent J said, revealing a more personal motivation behind his political stance. The ICP frontman even took a moment to learn the correct pronunciation of Harris’ first name, calling it “fresh.”

The conversation covered a variety of political topics, giving insight into Violent J’s views on hot-button issues.

A Proud Taxpayer
When it came to taxes, Violent J offered one of the most memorable quotes from the interview. He explained that his loyalty to the Democratic Party stems from his mother’s beliefs about economic fairness, saying, “My mom said the Democrats are saying less taxes on the poor, more taxes on the rich.” He also didn’t hold back when describing his own tax contributions, proudly claiming, “I pay up the fucking anus, and I’m happy about it. I pay double what they ask.”
No Opinion on Tim Walz
Interestingly, while Violent J had plenty to say about Harris and her policies, he was at a loss when it came to her running mate, Tim Walz. When shown a photoshopped image of Walz in Juggalo makeup, Violent J’s initial response was confusion, followed by a giggle, and a simple, “I am absolutely opinionless on that man.”
