CHICAGO (CBS) — A fourth member of Second City’s ETC revue quit after multiple occurrences of offensive behavior from audiences.
33-year-old Peter Kim told WBBM that audiences here in Chicago and across the country where he has toured, seem to feel emboldened by the no-holds-bars, speak-your-mind style of Donald Trump.
“I really think he gave people carte blanche to act and behave hateful,” Kim said. Kim said audiences have gotten more abusive in the past year and has heard people use the ‘f’ word, alluding to a slur against gays.
“The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was a man was sitting next to a Hispanic couple,” Kim said. “We asked a question to another lady, completely different lady, we said, ‘Hey, ma’am, what is something small that pisses you off, like getting stuck in traffic.'”
The man, unsolicited, screamed out, ‘Sitting too close to a Mexican,’ while sitting next to a Hispanic couple.
Kim said there was another time he felt physically threatened by a man who got too close to the stage.

No, he punctured the holiness of Leftist opinions - which must now be defended in public like everybody else's.
Pushy.
I miss the good old days... when comedians were actually funny and smart, and would put offensive hecklers into the hall of shame with their rapier wit.
Nowadays they have to run to their safe place and cry.
This is what you get when you spend 8 years calling George Bush a chimp and hoping he gets assassinated. This is what happens when the President is a lying rapist with a shrew for a wife and the media fawns over them.
Republicans didn’t start this. But they will finish this, so go hide in a corner snowflake and know that your hateful humor 10 years ago caused this.
He must miss his “safe space”.
*cough* BULL$H!T*cough*..

I’ll bet a buck that the guy sitting next to the Mexican was a good buddy and they both enjoyed the hell out of it. The left is a sad joke, too bad our conservative “leaders” don’t understand that.

When the going gets tough...Peter whines and quits.
So...it’s Trump’s fault? LOLOL!! Well maybe you can get Killary to help you out. Maybe she can make some calls to her Qatar and Saudi pals. I’m sure they’ll take you and make you safe.
Now if only this would work for snl, samantha bee, and all the other sociopaths disguised as “comedians” in late night entertainment.
Comedy has been a cesspool of raunchiness for decades, and this snowflake wants to whine about an audience member saying something offensive?? Puh-leeeeze spare us this b.s.
WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........
Wow. People emboldened to speak their minds.
The horror. Imagine that.
Next thing you know, some people are going to want freedom of speech.
Oh, wait a minute.....
How does he know that it wasn’t #BLM that gave people carte blanche to act and behave hateful?
Since I have never heard of Peter Kim, and have no clue what his routines are like, I cannot form an opinion. Has anyone ever seen his routine? Now, if someone actually said sitting next to a Mexican, I think that is wrong. However, I have my serious doubts that is even a reality. Instead, I just believe his humor is not well received.
Trump let the air out of the Leftist balloon.
