The singer made the comment in reply to a question in which he was asked for his opinion about president Obama and House speaker John Boehner who is a republican and their joint golf game back in June.
Anti-Defamation League condemned Williams’ comments and praised ESPN for cancelling his opening act. Abraham H.
