Bill Burr Criticizes Ben Shapiro Over 'Woke' Label Following CEO Comments

The comedian defended his remarks about insurance executives and accused Shapiro of misrepresenting his stance for profit.

Bill Burr dismissed Ben Shapiro's claim that he has 'gone woke' after criticizing 'greedy' insurance CEOs in response to public reactions to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Burr clarified that he did not condone the killing of Thompson but highlighted the public's frustration with the healthcare industry and its treatment of vulnerable individuals.
Shapiro accused Burr of supporting fear among CEOs and labeled his comments 'truly evil,' despite Burr's explicit denial of cheering the murder.
Burr asserted that Shapiro's use of the 'woke' label was a calculated move to generate profit, calling him a 'jerk-off' in a recent interview with The New York Times.
The exchange comes as Burr prepares for his Broadway debut in 'Glengarry Glen Ross,' alongside Bob Odenkirk and Kieran Culkin.
