\n\tPiers Morgan went<\/span> from condemning to fawning over Kanye West in a new interview that will air on Wednesday on his Piers Uncensored<\/em> show, praising the rapper even after West said he was \u201cabsolutely not\u201d sorry for his antisemitic remarks.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn a preview clip released before the show airs, the rapper calls Morgan a \u201cKaren,\u201d adding: \u201cYou don’t hold accountability to my pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI’m not a Karen and I’m not going to cancel you and I’m not going to censor you, I’m simply going to challenge you on what you’re saying,\u201d Morgan says.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAs Morgan tries to call out West on his antisemitic remarks and that it is racism, West denies it.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cDo you now regret saying ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’\u2026 Are you sorry you said that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tKanye: \u201cNo\u2026 Absolutely not.\u201d The clip then cuts to him saying, \u201cI will say I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the Defcon [comment], the confusion that I caused. I felt like I caused hurt and confusion. And I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I have been through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tIt then cuts to Morgan praising him for his sort-of apology. \u201cThat shows you’ve got that ability to be self-aware, to understand when you cross a line. I think someone like you with all your energy and creativity and your passion. You’re gonna say stuff,\u201d Morgan adds, giving West a pass, despite the rapper not really apologizing for what he actually said. \u201cThe way you talk constantly in such an extraordinary manner, you’re gonna trip up, you’re gonna say things the wrong way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOf course, Ye being Ye, he continues to push back a bit in the clip, while also seeming to plug his hopeful 2024 run for president. \u201cI just want to say that it’s wrong to hold an apology hostage and I gotta let go of that, and free myself of the trauma and say, ‘Look, I’m just gonna give it all up to God right now.’ And say to those families that I hurt, you know, I really want to give you guys a big hug. And I want to say I’m sorry for hurting you with my comments. And I want to word it in not like a political way, but in a presidential way, which means what I knew a president to be when I was growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tJust a little over a week before their interview, Morgan had tweeted<\/a>\u201cKanye West being locked out of his social media accounts isn’t an attack on free speech, it’s a justified suppression of vile, indefensible hate speech.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tWest has drawn significant controversy in recent weeks. His Instagram and Twitter accounts were restricted last week after he tweeted he was \u201cgoing to go death con 3 on Jewish people. ‘\u201d This past weekend during an interview on Drink Champs<\/em>he doubled-down on his antisemitic comments, stating his belief that Jews control the media, and he falsely claimed that George Floyd died from fentanyl rather than a police officer’s knee on Floyd’s neck.<\/p>\n

\n

\tEarlier in the week, Floyd’s family said that they’re considering suing West over his comments. Lee Merritt, an attorney for the Floyd family, told Rolling Stone<\/em> the Floyd family feels \u201cabsolutely betrayed by his comments.\u201d On Tuesday, Roxie Washington, who is the mother of Floyd’s daughter, announced plans to file a suit for $250 million in damages against West and others on behalf of Floyd’s child, who is a minor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
