So you admit your a spineless coward willing to do the bidding of evil tyrants. Your confession is not helping you jerk.

“I also do acknowledge that there are true, die-hard Trump fans who probably enjoyed my comedy, but because they feel so passionately, will never forgive me,” he added.


what say we at FR?

Remember when comedians were actually funny?

Don’t criticize the Dems. Trump was in semi-retirement, out of power in Florida for the past four years and most of the jokes on late night were about him. Pathetic. Oh well, Gutfeld mined all the comedy gold about Biden. Don’t understand Jim. I thought he was a fairly conservative, devout Catholic and he seems an anti-Trump Dem. He did point out out Kamala’s stupidity in avoiding the Al Smith Dinner. She said she would deny conscience rights to conservative Catholics. She needed to get Catholic swing votes but she kept stupidly preaching to the far left choir. Hope they run her again.

The comedian said the lack of criticism for Harris was probably not good for her campaign.

He's right about that.

If no one is willing to tell you that you are wrong you are destined to fail.

Any leader needs someone that will tell them they are wrong.

“What I thought was interesting about this election, maybe because it was so important, and maybe because it was such a short election for Kamala, that people were like, ‘Don’t criticize her,’” said Gaffigan. “And my whole thing is, that’s actually bad to have that approach. And I think in hindsight people feel that way,” he added.

More of “If we had just messaged better” a variation of “We didn’t lie effectively enough”.

It is good to see these sorts of analysis. It shows the Progressives are still in their bubble, with many still believing their own lies.

And so the neck-saving backpedaling begins.

Gaffigan will not be the last one to do this.

Jim Gaffigan is a political hack who exclusively attacks conservatives while pretending to be a standup comedian ...

i’d never heard of this guy, so started to watch a FREE recording of one of his standups, and not a single thing he said was even remotely funny .... i think i lasted about two minutes before i figured out what this jerk was all about: just one more of a gaggle of fake comedians who make a living attacking conservatives ...

He used to be funny when he joked about hot pockets. He should have stuck to that.

What “people”, Gaffigan, name them. And how were they able to impose their will on you so you wouldn’t do your job of being a comic?

This dude was unfunny and just plain weird at the Al Smith dinner.

And Trump handled him like a boss and put him in his place with a grace and dignity that Gaffigan did not deserve.

A billion and a half dollars was a lot of money spread around to keep people’s mouths shut if they were not in the bag for Harris.

“I regret that people think that I was criticizing people that support Trump. That was never the intention,” he said.

I guess this braindead nimrod caught some heat from former fans. I can’t respect comics who are afraid of anyone.

Gaffigan has been proactively trashing Trump, the GOP, libertarians, conservatives, civil rights advocates, etc. I dont believe an effin work he says. He had a choice, some others had little choice.

The crew on The Five on Fox News were discussing this last night.

Kennedy (Lisa Kennedy Montgomery), who made her start on MTV and has a house in Pacific Palisades, was asked to name who these amorphous "people" are who are telling the comedians to not to joke about Harris. Before the question was finished being asked, she blurted out the name "Judd Apatow."

Kennedy said that Apatow is a Hollywood producer who has near absolute control over the comedic talent in Hollywood, because almost all comedians who want to appear in TV shows, movies, or live stages have to have the approval of Apatow.

I don't know much more than that, but I trust that she has her finger on the pulse of Hollywood and knows what she's talking about.
