As ABC’s Terry Moran accidentally reported, President Obama called rapper Kanye West a “jackass” before an interview with CNBC on Monday. The comment was supposed to be off the record.
Now, we have the video:
Politico originally posted the video earlier today, then quickly took it down. Ben Smith wrote, “Wiser heads than mine at POLITICO made the call to take down the video of the “jackass” moment. Sorry about the tease if you missed it.”
But CNN managed to grab the video before it went down.
When Taylor Swift, a country singer, won the award for best female video at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, West took the microphone from her and praised Beyonce, who was also nominated for the award. (Watch the video if you haven’t seen it yet.)
