But the bigger issue is the left and their ability or their desire to engage with anyone who’s not already in the bubble. And they get a big fat D minus on that. I mean, you see Kamala, I mean, I’m glad she’s doing well, I’m glad we have a real fight now for president. But [she] doesn’t talk to the press. You know? Would never go near me. You know, when you won’t go near the people who are going to vote for you. I’m going to vote for you. Do I have to love everything? No, I don’t. It just shows…

Yeah, it's not a good look. But he was not only targeting that religion. The guy made an entire documentary dedicated to shitting on all religions. It's worth noting that he probably hasn't said those kinds of things recently. That article is from 7 years ago. I'm not saying he's got all defensible views but I don't know if it was really fair to characterize him as an islamophobe. Again, he was also shitting on Christianity constantly.

I quit watching him after the N-Word incident because I expected a much different handling of it than apologizing to Ice Cube...
