“Cardi B complained about paying too much in taxes, then endorses bernie who will raise taxes on the rich to fund his extreme socialism,” the user tweeted.
Cardi responded saying she actually doesn’t mind paying taxes.
“I don’t mind paying taxes if I see on what am I paying my taxes on. Its [sic] sad that we pay so much taxes yet we don’t have free college education neither free healthcare,” Cardi B responded.

This doesn’t seem like an all out endorsement from Cardi, but it’s pretty close. Some people won’t care about what Cardi B had to say, but it’s good to get some clarity on what she thinks politically.
