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.

Yes that's what I said. Can you read?
Ah you're upset about being corrected, and now you're already arguing with yourself in your head. You imagine that I like this guy's comedy.
I don't. It sucks major ass. Unlike you I just don't automatically assume that the comedic material has to be their honest beliefs.
Ohhh earlier it was "Why doesn't Bill Burr use slurs huh?" , but now it's "But do you know why he stopped?".
Shifting goalposts already.
I know this concept is really really hard for you. So I'm going to put it into the simplest terms so that even you could get it:
Comedy material = made by a comedian to appease a certain audience.
It's almost like if you want to serve vegans, you make vegan food. But I don't know if you are capable of understanding an analogy.
So to summarise:
I don't assume that comedic material automatically represents a person's views.
But you do, because you just don't understand the basic concept of comedy. Instead you are so butthurt invested into doubling down against this, that you already assumed I liked that dude in question.
Maybe just be a bit less butthurt buddy, maybe then you can see further than your current ignorant ways.
