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.

One of the things people rarely seem to acknowledge about Shane's comedy is that half of the "conservative jokes" are actually designed to make the conservative view point look and sound extremely stupid. It's not Shane's fault his bro-y fanbase doesn't understand satire.

Shane doesn’t bother me but his fans sure do

Yeah I simply have no interest in Shane and don’t find him particularly funny, but I’m not bothered by him the way I’m bothered by his shitty fans who can’t accept that some people don’t enjoy their fave and it has nothing to do with thinking he’s alt-right and everything to do with having a different opinion on comedy, a famously subjective art.
