CNN’s Brian Stelter responded to Kanye West’s recent interview with TMZ by saying he “is acting like a gift to racists.”

CNN’s Maggie Lake asked Stelter if Kanye is a master of marketing, or if he’s struggling with fame.
“This feels like a PR tour, but it also feels like it is backfiring in a really embarrassing, public, even humiliating way,” Stelter responded.
He continued, “Kanye West has been a brilliant entertainer, but right now he’s acting like a gift to racists. He is saying these sorts of ridiculous things that are usually promoted by white nationalists, by fringe groups, by fringe individuals, mostly on the internet, that promote racist ideas.”
Stelter’s attack was not the first and won’t be the last as Kanye West embarks on his anti-establishment crusade.
