Matt Lauer is holding his ground against Kanye West — claiming he stands by his recent interview with the rapper … despite Kanye’s allegations that Matt manipulated him into showing remorse for George W. Bush.
Kanye flipped out on Twitter yesterday — after ‘Today‘ aired a clip of the interview — claiming Lauer ‘tried to force’ his answers during Tuesday’s sit-down … in which the rapper said, ‘I would tell George Bush, in my moment of frustration that I didn’t have the grounds to call him a racist.’
But Lauer stood by his interview — which addressed the rapper’s famous post-Katrina remark that Bush ‘doesn’t care about black people’ — airing the entire segment this morning to prove that nothing was taken out of context.
