He said that he completely empathized and understood the president’s situation and called it the worst moment in his presidency. Things, however, turned more serious when he was shown a clip of a recent interview. Kanye West lashed at Matt Lauer and said that he need not have played the clip to stir up his emotions. He said that he realized that he had made a mistake by calling him a racist. He went on say that he has grown as a person since then and he came to the interview to say that he had made a mistake.
