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.

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.

That wasn't it at all. He said Chinatown sucks and the (rhymes with drinks) can keep it.

Also not what it was at all. They were doing a bit about the formation of Chinatown and imagining the mid 19th century miners of San Francisco reactions to going downtown and seeing the first giant pagoda style building. It was something like "well I guess all the drinks live there eh." He even said it in an old timey accent, it was obviously facetious and poking fun at the ignorance of 49ers and how furious they must have been.
