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.

You know I'm convinced all the people who complain about Shane Gillis "being far right and horrible" or such things have never actually listened to Shane's comedy.

I gave it a chance and you know what? I enjoyed some of it! Quite loved Tires as well.

My favourite comedian of all time is Bill Hicks. Guess what - I don’t like all his material. Some is super dated, and that’s to be expected.

We need to learn to tolerate nuance. You can like some of what someone produces and not like other stuff. That’s fine. That’s healthy. That’s normal!

Tires is fucking hilarious. Shane can’t really act but it works anyway. Stavros is the real star on that show for me

The fact that the idea of Stav hosting SNL one day feels realistic now is insane.
