Wasn’t in Portland.

Yep. Portland jokes don't appear to work in Hood River. People who live in a liberal echo chamber can't imagine anyone having a different outlook.

Still, people don't just walk up on a stage and punch someone without some fallout. I'll wait for the rest of the story.

IIRC, we’ve actually had a Space Force for many years.

Always a hoax. I’d like a link to one of these things that wasn’t a hoax so I can have my exception that proves the rule.

A black eye is a small price to pay for a no name comedian to get national exposure.

KATU scrubbed the article.

Here's the story from a different source:

>>>”I just said, ‘Someone should build a wall around you,’ and the next thing you know, boom,” described Fontenot.<<<

I thought it was because of the Space Force Joke.

Was that supposed to be a Joke too? I guess it wasn’t taken that way.

"There's no mention of audience members witnessing this event"

Odd. Wouldn't put it past the Marxists to fake this for propaganda purposes.

In Portland? False flag. Was probably some Antifa lunatic trying to make Trump people look unstable and violent.

A television station in Oregon pulled a story about a comedian who says he was punched in the face over the weekend by an audience member after telling a joke mocking President Trump.

Local news outlet KATU 2 decided to remove the story Monday after the comedian in question, Joe Fontenot, had not yet provided surveillance footage of the incident that he says exists.

Additionally, Fontenot did not file a police report or identify the specific venue where the incident occurred, according to the news outlet.

He said the incident occurred during his Saturday night stand-up set that took place in Hood River, a town roughly 60 miles east of Portland.

The news story was published Monday morning and taken down by Monday afternoon. The tweet promoting the story from the news outlet’s account was still posted as of Monday afternoon.
