Kim Kardashian faced fans' ire after posting about her son's Fortnite channel just hours after the election results poured in.
In a since-deleted post, the mom of four, 44, shared her 8-year-old son Saint's Fortnite channel asking fans to subscribe. "Please subscribe to my sons [sic] Fortnite channel on YouTube he will pick the best players to be in his clan," she wrote.
Comments immediately poured in, with many condemning the reality TV star for a myriad of reasons, while others wondered if Saint was the one to post the Fortnite plea.

Some lambasted the SKIMS founder by claiming she is putting her young child at risk by blasting his channel to her 359 million followers. Others were horrified she appeared to be trying to gain her son followers while many in the United States were still trying to come to terms with Donald Trump's controversial election win (Kardashian herself had just been spotted cozying up to his daughter, Ivanka Trump.)
"Nah this post wins most out of touch human award lol," one person commented, while another asked, "Why would you invite people on the internet to interact with your son at his age? Come on Kim."
Others seemed to be referencing the results of the election — of candidates who support strict abortion bans that put women at risk — while also quoting her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, from an old Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode. "Kim, people are dying," one woman commented, while another shared, "Kimberly not right now."
"Kim don't piss me off today," one comment read. Another person posted, "Babes, read the room," which seemed to be a recurring comment.

Others theorized that Saint had stolen his mother's phone to promote his channel.
"Saint give your mother her phone back," one comment read, while another asked, "saint is this you???"
The controversial post came one week after Kardashian took to her Instagram Stories to celebrate Ivanka's birthday as the tensions regarding the 2024 election were at a high. "No one sweeter than you @ivankatrump. Happy Birthday ♡♡♡," she gushed, sharing photos of the pair smiling in black gowns.
She also surprised fans when she shared an Instagram post alongside her formerly estranged stepparent, Caitlyn Jenner, who is a staunch Trump supporter. Kardashian simply captioned the selfie, "Happy 75th Birthday. I love you."
