Bill Maher Revives Macklemore’s Antisemitic Costume Controversy Amid Ed Sheeran Fallout
"Everyone is just really so stupid," the comedian says The post Bill Maher Revives Macklemore’s Antisemitic Costume Controversy Amid Ed Sheeran Fallout appeared first on TheWrap .
Bill Maher criticized Macklemore on his show "Real Time" for his past antisemitic costume, which resurfaced amidst the fallout from Ed Sheeran dropping Macklemore from his tour. During his monologue, Maher made reference to Macklemore's controversial 2014 concert where he wore a costume that perpetuated antisemitic tropes, including a fake prosthetic "Jew" nose.
Maher questioned whether Sheeran, who is friends with Macklemore from their time together, was aware of the costume and if Ed Sheeran was making excuses for Macklemore by allowing him to be his opening act on his tour. Sheeran's fans, as well as the artists who had previously performed with Macklemore, have distanced themselves from him following his pro-Palestinian remarks.
