Bill Burr says Ben Shapiro called him 'woke' over CEO comments to 'make more money': 'That guy is a jerk-off'

Bill Burr thinks right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro only accused him of being 'woke' as a way to 'make more money': 'I don't know who he is, but that guy is a jerk-off.'

The stand-up comedian issued a blistering response after the right-wing commentator called him "woke" for strongly condemning "greedy" CEOs. Shapiro took umbrage with Burr's comments about CEOs in the wake of the killing of Brian Thompson, the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare. "None of these news programs are talking about the incredible lack of empathy from the general public about this because of how these insurance companies treat people when they at their most vulnerable, after we've all given them our money every f---ing month, and now we finally need you and all you do is deny us," Burr said in a December episode of his Monday Morning Podcast.
