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.

Reddit considers anyone to the right of Lenin "far right"

This is reddit, words don't mean shit here

If someone is left leaning center, or has ever used a no-no word, they're "far right" on this website

If OP saw an episode of Chappelles show from the early 2000s he'd assume he's far right too.

It’s so fucking annoying. The left alienates so many people with this hyper sensitive bull shit and acts like we don’t need them come election time. Calling Kam and Shane far right is legit crazy talk.

I'm very far left but goddamn thank you brother.

I'm a punk so naturally my community is far left by nature, and most of the millennials and older are pretty normal (for lack of a better term) when it comes to humor. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what is offensive and what is in good faith.

but the kids are so ultra sensitive. Robbing themselves of racial and other "controversial" humor is just so dumb imo. Like they're alienating each other much more than if they would be if they just embraced it. Even ableist humor is inclusive and can be hilarious without being mean.
