Bill Maher Says He Axed Two-Hour Kanye West Podcast Interview Because ‘He’s a Very Charming Antisemite’ and ‘I’m Not Going to Contribute to This’


Bill Maher says he axed a Kanye West podcast interview because he doesn't want to amplify the disgraced rapper's antisemitism.

Bill Maher revealed that he sat down with Kanye West for a two-hour interview on his “Club Random” podcast, but he will not release the episode due to the disgraced rapper’s bigoted views against Jews. TMZ founder Harvey Levin suggested to Maher that “you could say the same thing about Hitler,” in regards to West emboldening other people to voice their antisemitic views. I just fucked a Jewish bitch” on his song “Vultures,” and repeatedly peddled antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews’ control over hospitals and financial institutions.
