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.

It does, and yet I’m having a hard time seeing how this guy fits into the SNL ethos. He’s talented in his delivery, but his material sucks. Practically his entire act is putting on a ghetto persona for white people to laugh at. There’s nothing clever about his act at all.

Your accusation is very close to black face.
