Bill Burr Flames Ben Shapiro For Calling Him 'Woke' Over Comments About Health Care CEOs
HuffPost
The stand-up comedian slammed the conservative pundit for lazily using "woke" to insult him.
Professional stand-up Bill Burr isn’t taking Ben Shapiro’s comments lying down.
Burr torched the conservative pundit this week for claiming he’s gone “woke” by condemning “greedy” insurance CEOS after the December murder of Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO 26-year-old Luigi Mangione stands accused of killing.
“All he knew is if he put ‘woke’ on what I said, he would make more money,” Burr told The New York Times about Shapiro in an interview about his upcoming Broadway debut published Tuesday. “I don’t know who he is, but that guy is a jerk-off.”
Burr slammed the media following Thompson’s death for criticizing those who empathized more with Mangione than Thompson, seeing the late 50-year-old as a symbol of an industry that has often denied people claims for costly or life-saving medical treatments.
“None of these news programs are talking about the incredible lack of empathy from the general public about this because of how these insurance companies treat people when they are at their most vulnerable,” Burr said on his “Monday Morning Podcast” in December.
