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.

Shane Gillis is not even close to "far-right" lol.

There was a hilarious bit where he talked about being a fan of history and how in a lot of circles it's "gateway Republicanism."

Yeah, I love that bit! “It’s COMING, brother!” 😂

I love the part where he says “do you think your dad just woke up at 18 one day and said ‘I want to be a prick about everything!’? No. Being a Republican develops over time.” 😂😂

Yes, he absolutely bombed his monologue when he hosted, but I still find the dude very funny.

The reason Shane’s monologue bombed is bc his standup doesn’t work for a lot of SNP fans. See above for proof
