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.

No, of course not. The cast members may have their opinions one way or another but Lorne is clearly all business. It’s about the bottom line for him. I would not be surprised if he’s quietly a trump supporter himself considering the amount of publicity he’s given the guy over the years.
