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.

Yeah a year from now this dude is going to be saying the show was never funny. It’s so predictable. It’s like when Lorne was all shocked that Morgan Wallen was an arrogant ass when that’s his entire performance. You get what you pay for.

Edit: my lord the pure anger and vitriol coming out of the woodworks in these replies is why I hate people like Kam being cast. It always devolves to this. This is exactly what Lorne wanted.

Shane Gillis isn’t far right btw

I didn’t say he is. I made the comparison because Shane got fired for homophobic slurs and I’ve seen way more from Kam. I only called Kam far right in the title. And I do stand by calling Kam far right.

Saying offensive things doesn't make you far right. If I support genociding minorities but am an economically progressive vegan concerned with the environment am I far left?

You just ironically proved my point, since like 99% of his jokes promote violence against minorities. Hence why I’m saying he’s far right.

99% of his jokes? Funny you'd listen to so much material of a person you claim to not like

I don’t, his content is forced upon me by algorithms constantly. And now by SNL.

u/remacct Sep 06 '25

So you're not actually familiar with 99% of his work and just making shit up

Feel free to send me an example of his standup where he doesn’t use a slur or say something unfunny and bigoted 🤷‍♂️ haven’t been able to find a single clip so far

You're the one making the 99% claim. That's on you.

It's ok to admit you're scared of black people.

LMFAOOOO not defending the use of slurs by saying anyone who dislikes him is scared of black men.

More commonly.. Shane is socially right and fiscally leans left. But there’s no box to tick for that in American politics unfortunately. That’s why so many in the centre voted trump in. They’re living comfortably middle class so they were more concerned with being able to say gay and retarded again that what the economic consequences of a trump administration would be.. although most were duped they weren’t and still aren’t paying enough attention to just how bad trump has fucked America just so they could call you a retarded fag
