On last night’s Desus & Mero on Viceland, Desus Nice and The Kid Mero took reality TV star Kim Kardashian to task for defending a makeup artist who has been a regular user of racist language and was filmed calling people the “n” word.
The two showed snippets of Kardashian using social media to first defend Jeffree Starr, and then issue a bland and rambling apology.
Listening to Kim drone on about how he taught her how to use her shade kit, Mero said: “You got two black kids, shut up!”
Desus chimed in: “You are married to a guy [Kanye West] who used to be black.”
