Appearing as a guest on Friday's The 11th Hour show on MS NOW, unfunny liberal comedian John Fugelsang accused Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) of being a "bigot" and compared the black Republican to a drug dealer who puts other drug dealers in jail.
The comments came as fill-in host Catherine Rampell brought up the race for governor in Florida:
So, speaking of potentially flipping certain offices, as I mentioned in the last segment, the Republican primary to replace Florida governor Ron DeSantis has been like, totally nuts. You have the Trump-endorsed candidate, Byron Donalds. You have this bigoted guy, James Fishback. And Donalds, of course, has endured -- has embraced the anti-weaponization fear.
After Rampell called Republican candidate James Fishback "bigoted" and then brought up Donalds, Fugelsang jumped in: "Hey, let's be clear. Donalds is a bigot, too. He's a bigot as well. Come on, now."
Rampell went along with the liberal comedian and then called the Republican nominees a "clown car" as the MS NOW host continued:
Okay, if you say so. Florida has not actually had a Democratic governor that is elected in over 30 years. Like since I was a child growing up in Florida. And so my question to you is, given this sort of clown car of candidates who are running on the Republican ticket, is this the chance for David Jolly, who's running as the Democrat, to actually finally turn that governor's mansion blue?
Fugelsang soon compared Donalds to a drug dealer as the back and forth continued:
FUGELSANG: A lot will depend on who the Republicans pick. I think.
RAMPELL: Well, who's the good one?
FUGELSANG: Who's the best -- as a comedian or as a civic society? It's hard to say. I mean, Byron Donalds is like the guy you'd buy weed from and then watch him put other men in jail for selling weed, isn't he? So there's that.
The liberal comedian then repeated Rampell's characterization of Republicans as a "clown car" as he added:
David Jolly gets to come out there and say, "I'm not a radical. I was a Republican. And then I looked around and saw what was going on. Their entire MO is selling the Democratic party as communist, radical, groomer, transgender lunatic." And by having a former Republican there that will help in ways that having someone on the left wouldn't. It's all going to come down to which unqualified clown the Republicans pick for their nominee.

Huh?
Comedian?
He was something associated with VH1.
Nobody watched him then.
Nobody’s watching him now.
His post reads like an unqualified clown wrote it. Donalds served two terms in the FLA House of Reps and three in Congress. He comes from a single parent home in Brooklyn and started life as a Democrat, switched to being a Republican and he is far more of a Republican than Jolly ever was.
John is my next door neighbor when he’s in LA. He knows I’m somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun but has always been quite friendly and courteous. Totally different than his media persona.
What the hell is a John Fugeslang?
What is a fugglesang?
Whatever happened to uncle Tom?
Oh, I was wondering why Florida looked and worked so great after a recent visit. That explains it.
Fidiot! But dangerous nonetheless.
That's an intentional attack because Donalds was arrested on a possession charge when he was young and had the charges expunged when he entered a diversion program.

You too can be an honorary black man.
This clown is in blackface without the charcoal.
It is a disease that comes from a ho and a john having sex, under a bridge, and the john gets fuges on his lang {or tongue}.
He still had to pay {in advance}, but fuges is usually non-fatal.
I never heard of this dirtbag, and am much wiser for missing his appearances on tv {or where ever he appeared}.
Using the left’s own definition, Byron Donalds can’t be a bigot because he’s black
In the words of the ORIGINAL REACHER, when in the Pittsburgh movie, "I wouldn't make a big thing about it".
In it, he argues that Jesus was a New Dealer and a feminist who favored open borders, abortion on demand, gay rights, and even gun control and that the Apostle Paul corrupted the true teachings of Jesus. He implies that to be a good Christian, one must embrace the ideology of the Democrat Party.

If I were Byron I would threten a defamation lawsuit unless he retracts his statement.
