Netflix Cancels Michelle Wolf’s Comedy Show After Disgusting Jokes About Abortion
LIFE NEWS ^ | August 20, 2018 | Steven Ertelt

Earlier this year, so-called comedian Michelle Wolf was so disgusting during her performance at the White House Correspondents Association dinner that even liberal media outlets said it might possibly be the last dinner they have.

During her performance, Wolf used disgusting jokes about abortion that drew criticism from both sides of the political aisle. Now Wolf is paying the price for her disgusting pro-abortion comedy and Netflix is canceling her comedy show after just 10 episodes.

At the dinner, attendees were subjected to a vulgar, profane and bullying attack against women, especially personally lambasting pro-life Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

There was one joke that received the biggest negative reaction in the room, and it was another one about Sanders. During a riff about how Wolf doesn’t know what to refer to Sanders as, she asked, “What’s Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women?”

This was one of the few jokes that actually received audible boos. The camera was also fixated on Sanders this entire time, and she did not crack a smile once.

Many in the room were clearly outraged by Wolf’s two back-to-back jokes about abortion. First, Wolf said, “Mike Pence is also very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder. Which, first of all, don’t knock it ’till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it. You gotta get that baby out of there.”

Groans could be heard as this was said. Wolf followed it up by saying, “I know a lot of you are very anti-abortion. You know, unless it’s the one you got for your secret mistress.”

Now, Netflix has pulled the plug on “The Break with Michelle Wolf,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Just ten episodes in from the May start date, Wolf’s comedy program is no more.

“Wolf’s late-night entry failed to garner the kind of viewership that warrants a second season at the streaming giant,” the Reporter noted Sunday. “During the series’ brief run, Wolf herself generated considerable press attention and a handful of segments — including an ‘ICE Is’ recruitment video and a salute to abortion, among others.”

Viewers were repelled, according to some.

The abortion segment in particular prompted “horrified” Netflix customers to cancel their subscriptions, petition for the show’s cancellation and promote a #BoycottNetflix hashtag on Twitter, wrote Craig Bannister, an analyst for CNSNews.com.

“In the end, though, Wolf’s shock-and-offend theatrics failed to draw and maintain enough audience to justify a second season,” he said.

What was somewhat surprising at the time was the pushback from even liberal media elites.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell tweeted this: “Apology is owed to [Sanders] and others grossly insulted by Michelle Wolf at White House Correspondents Assoc dinner.”

CNN’s Jeff Zeleny called Wolf’s performance “an embarrassment.”

Kyle Cheney of Politico tweeted that Wolf was “unnecessarily cruel.”

It will be interesting to see where Wolf lands and if she will reform her comedy or push abortion even further.

The wolf piece of $hit will still attract enough followers to make a living. All the feminazis who hate themselves and humanity will rush to hear their contrary-to-nature ideology confirmed by the militant biytch.

Doesn’t say it was cancelled because of abortion. Says it was cancelled because of poor ratings.

Netflix is feeling it.

What idiot signs up the Obamas at this point, with all the money going out the door, and subscribers looking for exits.

Netflix is going to get bought.

Every woman I know hates this woman. And she’s got no redeeming value for men. Odd how she even plays around. She’s as non-funny as Joy Bayhar was back in the day constantly talking about her vagina. Memo: Men don’t want to laugh at it.

Another filthy gutter-crawling lib bites the dust. A ‘plus one’ for Netflix.

Does anybody ever have a kind of Judgment at Nuremburg fantasy in which the abortionist-left is on trial in the future and faced with film and video of their past statements and actions?

She should have worked Trump into the abortion jokes, then the commiebots would have applauded.

BS! It wasn't about the joke! It was because her show is a $$$ loser for Netflix

Agreed. The Libs at Netflix don’t care about abortion jokes. They care about $$$$$$$$$$. Wolf’s show was a boring snooze-fest that no one watched. That’s why she got canceled. She’d like to think that she got canceled because those evil conservatives forced her off the air so that she can be a liberal hero. But reality is that she just isn’t funny.

This foul woman is really dead in her sins. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

Conversely, Star Gate SG-1 lasted ten years plus two movies. Quality and revenue win.
