PoliticsBill Maher Jokes Kanye West Is 'Angling for a Cabinet Appointment' in Donald Trump's Administration After Calling Himself a 'Nazi': Watch
Bill Maher took a dig at Kanye West and Donald Trump after the rapper tweeted 'I am a Nazi.'
Will Donald Trump bring Kanye West into his administration?
On Friday, February 7, Bill Maher joked about the rapper’s recent antisemitic rant on social media and his ties to the president during his opening monologue of Real Time With Bill Maher.
Maher began, “Then of course, Kanye joined the fun and tweeted yesterday, ‘I love Hitler and I’m a Nazi.’ Either he’s trolling or he’s angling for a cabinet appointment.”
Maher’s quip came after West had returned to X, formerly known as Twitter, sharing his inflammatory rhetoric. The comedian focused on one post, where West declared he’s “never apologizing for [his] Jewish comments,” before stated, “I’m a Nazi. Hitler was sooooo fresh.”
As OK! previously reported, the Yeezy designer’s offensive comments came after he demanded the politician pardon his pal Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently in prison awaiting trial for his s-- trafficking and abuse charges.
“FREE MY BROTHER PUFF,” West urged.
