Chris Cuomo Confronts Kanye West Amid ‘Jewish Underground Media Mafia’ Rant
Chris Cuomo clashed with the artist formerly known as Kanye West on Monday evening after the rapper made more antisemitic comments claiming that the “Jewish underground media mafia” has it out for him and that he doesn’t “believe in” the term antisemitic.
West, who now goes by the mononym Ye, made his latest bizarre allegations while calling into Cuomo’s NewsNation show from the poorly lit back seat of a car.
In response to Ye’s “Jewish underground media mafia” claim, Cuomo fired back: “Look, there is no Jewish media, cabal, mafia. That is a figment of either your imagination or a projection of a prejudice. You may have had bad business dealings with people—it’s about those people. It’s not about their religion or faith. And I know that you’re intelligent and understand that when you target people because of their faith, other people may do so the same.”
