Damn, Kanye West is getting it from all angles. Even the president didn't like what he did to Taylor Swift at the VMAs.
President Barack Obama reportedly called West "a jackass" in an off-the-record comment during an inerview with CNBC on Monday (September 14).
No one would've known it, but ABC's Terry Moran tweeted about it, making it public news: "President Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."
Since it became news, ABC issues a statement to Politico.com regarding the issue:
"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."
