I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you. Did you used to date him? Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him. Every hour, it’s Trump, Russia, Hillary and a panel of four people who remind you why you don’t go home for Thanksgiving… But, instead, we’re covering like three topics. “There’s a ton of news right now a lot is going on, and we have all these 24-hour news networks, and we could be covering everything. Now don’t mistake me, she needs to be able to speak freely, just don’t tout her as a symbol of triumph for doing something that you would easily condemn someone else for doing. Statements by a comedian at a WHCP might provoke a volatile president to say things that make a market go up, or down, give hope, cause fears, or start wars. I personally don’t take issue with what she said, but I take huge issue with the idea that she gets to say vile things and be heralded as a champion against a President you dislike because he…says vile things? Vile speech should be condemned no matter where it comes from, if you’re going to condemn it at all. You don’t seem to understand, the reasoning you just gave me (about who Trump represents versus who Wolf doesn’t) is exactly the basis of the argument for hypocrisy. Christ Christie is fat, Paul Ryan is a coward, Mitch McConnel has an ugly neck, Roy Moore is a pedophile, and Sanders either has ugly eyes or wears too much makeup.Īnd you’re comparing that to what? Hillary Clinton not campaigning in Michigan? Rachel Maddow digressing? Jim Acosta not asking tough enough questions? Al Franken being “ousted” although she won’t describe him in any fashion or what he was ousted for? Democrats losing to pedophiles (I can only assume the hypothetical pedophile of reference represents Republican opponents). Megyn Kelly is a disappointment to women. Pro-Life supporters are secretly adulterous hypocrites. Sanders is an “Uncle Tom” of women, as is Ann Coulter. Mike Pence looks like a gay man and wants to oppress women. Trump is a racist, sexist, incestual, incompetent, lying buffoon who uses porn stars as prostitutes and commits treasonous activities with Russia, and is a Russian puppet. What’s silly is thinking that she hit the left just as hard as she hit the right. So, when pressed to apologize, respond by saying that you’ll apologize as soon as Sarah Huckabee Sanders apologizes to Jim Comey, Hillary Clinton, and countless others she has smeared at the behest of the wannabe tyrant to whose black hole she has so willingly, eagerly and treacherously hitched her wagon. Ugly truth wrapped in humor can be unsettling. You exposed Sanders as a modern-day brown shirt, just as Colbert once exposed the ineptitude of the Bush administration and Larry Wilmore exposed the brutality of Obama’s drone bombing. After all, what is Sarah Huckabee Sanders if not a high-level functionary for a corrupt regime, just like Aunt Lydia. They are about truth spoken to power in a way that, for those in power, was alarmingly dead on. The attacks on you are not about impropriety or stepping over the line or being mean. The line drawing the fire, as you know, is your brilliant and courageous comparison of Sarah Huckabee Sanders to Aunt Lydia in the Handmaid’s Tale. Whatever you do, please, please, don’t surrender to the attacks. I’m one of the millions you inspired with your performance Saturday night.
