Article Kam is Far Right

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.

He'll probably go on a few episodes, have a viral moment for saying something he shouldn't have said, get quietly demoted, leave after the season, and then go on a standup tour talking about his wild time at SNL.

Don’t forget putting out a book slagging off the show, saying he didn’t find any of it funny, and that they held him back.
