During an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this month, Kimmel asked guest Kanye West, ”George Bush doesn’t care about black people.’ It makes me wonder, what makes you think that Donald Trump does?”
Before ‘Ye could answer, Kimmel cut to a commercial. Now, the late-night talk show host has shed a little light on that decision.
“Well, I think Kanye is kind of in a perpetual state of being interviewed and he shares his thoughts constantly,” he told The Daily Beast in a recent interview. “So, the idea that he needed to come up with the answer right there on the spot isn’t necessarily something I agree with.
“I think he doesn’t feel the same type of pressure that most people feel in a situation like that. And I think it’s a question that I hope he will answer eventually. But to force an answer out of somebody isn’t necessarily the way to go.”
Kimmel also cited time as an issue. He was given an eight-minute segment but they were already at 10 minutes when he went to the commercial break. He then addressed why he didn’t pick up where they left off when the break was over.
“It wasn’t necessarily a conscious decision,” he said. “I felt that his silence answered the question in some ways. And I also know that if Kanye wanted to continue on a subject then he is not shy about continuing on that subject.
“I also had a lot of areas I wanted to cover. I didn’t want to spend the whole interview on one thing.”
Following Kanye’s appearance, the G.O.O.D. Music boss headed to Twitter to offer his own explanation.
“On Jimmy Kimmel we had a great time having a dialogue,” he wrote on August 11. “I’m reading that I was stumped by a question. Let me clarify the click bait. I wasn’t stumped. I wasn’t given a chance to answer the question.”
‘Ye continued, “The question was so important I took time to think. And then I was hit with the let’s go to commercial break. That interview showed strong personalities with different opinions having a civil conversation.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Trump praised Kanye for his “willingness to tell the truth” shortly after the Jimmy Kimmel Live! episode aired.
Kanye has yet to answer the question.
Answer this question, “those kids wrapped around in aluminum foil as a blanket was during the Obama administration. Why wasn’t there the same outrage now than when obama was president? Was it because he was black that you couldn’t criticize him? Or was it because the media denied to cover it until trump was in office now he has to deal with the titles of “the president who separated families”
Because those were kids who came alone with no parents. Trump is the only president to separate families.
Wrong. You need to do your research homie. This immigration issue of separated families have been going on for years! Before trump before Obama before Bush before Clinton where you been at?
No, it hasn’t. They already stopped doing it. It was only for a couple months. You are so uninformed it’s scary
Stop being so ignorant. There were pictures from 2014 of Seperated kids on cages.
It was to smear trump, but turned out to be from 2014, and Trump even retweeted it to point out hypocrisy.
Funny Tho… Can’t separate migrant kids from illegal immigrant parents, but all kids get Seperated from their undocumented pharmacists (drug dealers).
Criminals go to jail. Illegal immigrants are criminals.
If u advocate for illegal immigration, your a jackass. We can’t even care for our unfortunate, sick, minorities, homeless, ect… So fuck helping anyone before we help oirsleves
Well the options are to either 1) send every captured border crosser back, without letting them try to claim asylum, but since liberals want to let them claim asylum, the further options are to 2) release them into the public like Obama was doing and just believe them when they tell you they will show up for their hearing, although less than half actually did, 3) keep the whole families in jail, but it’s illegal to keep kids in jail for 30 days, or 4) keep the parents in jail and keep the kids in their ICE facilities where they are free to play outside, play videogames inside, they are taught at a mini school and get three square meals a day (this is what Trump subjected them to that is being so widely criticized, the facilities are not “children in cages”.)
Personally I vote for not even letting them try to get asylum, they’ve already displayed a disregard for our laws if they were caught crossing illegally, but since libs are so obtuse (because they know these people will vote overwhelmingly for their big government policies, they force policies like the one Trump’s DOJ enacted, which was really just operation of law once he said that letting them into the public was stupid.
So the pictures from 2014 of the migrant kids in cages were fake? No, they weren’t. Even at that. I honestly don’t care. Don’t come here illegal. If it were up to me, we’d have land mines around the wall lol. If I was, ain’t nobody coming near my land.
The Obama administration would actually release the children into the hands of human traffickers. It’d be best if you knew what you were talking about before deciding to engage into a debate.
Kanye is out of touch with the real world
Wow these trumptards really guzzle the fucking kool aid don’t they? They keep going in circles trying to convince themselves he is somehow the victim. Like his own lawyer said ‘truth isn’t truth’ in trumpland
The real reason he didn’t want an answer is because the majority of liberals never want to engage in an intellectual conversation or debate. They prefer to insult and then call you racist or other derogatory names if you don’t agree. Example: This post will be deleted.
You peddle conspiracy theories and try to pass them off as fact. Maybe thats why no one will “debate” you
The same 2 companies that produce CNN and MSNBC, also produce all of the late night propaganda shows.
Kimmel is a no body
