Mariah Carey posed with Colin Kaepernick and MAGA supporters are livid

Mariah Carey, the queen of high notes, memes and general iconic behaviour, has posted a photograph that is enraging some people.

Hot off the heels of releasing her new album, Caution, which is receiving glowing reviews from fans, Carey has been photographed alongside Colin Kaepernick.
