    Oh, look, another old comedian jumps on the bigot bandwagon. It’s an incredibly transparent trend now for when they can’t write the same material that got them there in the first place, or when they are no longer working with the person that wrote their material for them.

    Take a few shots at trans people, purely for publicity, then use that sudden boost from the circle jerking media to secure yourself a Netflix special, where you can talk about how you’ve been cancelled for an hour and a half for a big payout.

    It’s just a marketing ploy for using peoples own outrage against them.

      He’s been a conservative hack for a while (and he’s been a hack for his entire career), he just hid it better than, say, Victoria Jackson or something. This is him feeling too comfortable. I’m glad this crowd didn’t let him stay comfortable.
