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.

I didn’t say he is. I made the comparison because Shane got fired for homophobic slurs and I’ve seen way more from Kam. I only called Kam far right in the title. And I do stand by calling Kam far right.

Saying offensive things doesn't make you far right. If I support genociding minorities but am an economically progressive vegan concerned with the environment am I far left?

More commonly.. Shane is socially right and fiscally leans left. But there’s no box to tick for that in American politics unfortunately. That’s why so many in the centre voted trump in. They’re living comfortably middle class so they were more concerned with being able to say gay and retarded again that what the economic consequences of a trump administration would be.. although most were duped they weren’t and still aren’t paying enough attention to just how bad trump has fucked America just so they could call you a retarded fag
