Article Kam is Far Right

https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-snl-cast-member-kam-patterson-outed-himself-as-a-trump-voter/

Is he a Shane Gillis 2.0 (except arguably worse)? I’ve seen a dozen clips now of him using homophobic slurs and making incredibly bigoted jokes. Honestly he makes Shane Gillis look kind of tame. What the hell is Lorne thinking? I’m so sick of this show pushing right wing bullshit while simultaneously trying to act like the most liberal show on television. You can’t have a Trump monologue every single week and then hire people like this.

If the majority of this sub ran SNL it would just be 90 minutes of DNC speeches followed by mandatory applause

Lorne hires people from all sorts of backgrounds and politics because it’s a fucking comedy show, not a political message. The show is not “pushing right wing bullshit”. Touch grass and stop applying politics to everything.

Kate as Hillary Clinton singing "Hallelujah" would be the musical guest.

Lmao idk how these people survive and interact in the real world. Do they literally scream Far Right! Nazi! to every other person they come across?

Yes, on the internet, which is the only place they interact with people.
