Trump fans boo, walk out on Amy Schumer show in Tampa (w/video)
Tampa Bay Times ^ | 10/17/2016 | Adam C. Smith

TAMPA - About 200 people walked out of Amy Schumer's comedy show at the Amalie Arena in Tampa Sunday when she mocked Donald Trump as, among other things, an "orange, sexual-assaulting, fake- college-starting monster." (Read Jay Cridlin's review of the show).

Loud booing from a vocal, but small minority of the arena crowd started about halfway through the show, when Schumer's raunchy humor veered into more topical matters, including gun control and the presidential election. She has been a vocal advocate for stricter gun laws since a man opened fire during a showing of her movie Train Wreck last year, killing two young women, Mayci Breaux and Jillian Johnson, in Louisiana, and was an early Hillary Clinton supporter,

She made it clear she doesn't understand how people can support Trump. At one point, she asked for a Trump supporter - preferably one with sleeves, she told security personnel - to join her up on stage to explain their enthusiasm for Trump. One fellow did, but he said he was voting for Trump mainly because he doesn't trust Clinton. When some audience members booed, the actor/comedian invited them to leave and also asked security to remove anyone booing.

"I don't want to hear that. We wanted to have a good night without distractions with the politics," said Bryon Infinger.

"It's a bit much," echoed his wife, Chrissy Infinger.

They both said everybody has a right to their opinion but thought Schumer went on too long.

"The show became political. I definitely didn't come to hear this," said Ryan Atwood.

[Video gone...]

Thanks for that, saved me from even considering clicking on that site. It’s going to be my m.o. from now on unless I see video link highlighted in the thread.

None of these alleged feminists gave a crap about real sexual assault when Bill Clinton did it.

AFAIK, Amy Schumer has always been a cutting edge lefty - a Samantha Bee type. What would one expect from a niece of Schmuckie Schumer? These people were fools for buying tickets in the first place.

Who would go in the first place?

Mayci Breaux and Jillian Johnson were the lucky ones, the others had to watch the movie.

She and that idiot Canadian do the supposedly pseudo-political Bud Light ads, but every stated position is straight from Hillary.

I don’t think conservatives (or just normal people) have any public entertainment now days.

Even TV ads are vulgar and liberal.

Sorry about that.

Chuck and Amy Schumer are not, I believe, as closely related as uncle and niece. Think they are second cousins or second cousins, once removed. Something like that. In any case, politically alike, although Chuck is smarter than Amy.

I guess she didn’t want The Wookie coming up on the stage-——she LOVES her sleeveless outfits.

Schumer is disgusting.

I don’t know why she is famous. She is not at all attractive, and per personality is rough, crass and uncouth, and otherwise unremarkable.

likely a safe bet. You don't get rich by personally insulting half of your audience.

The article was also revised to delete the company for which she is the SPOKESPERSON.

I went back to check because I am contacting it as soon as I discover!

Men can be funny. Women can be funny.

Men can "go blue" and be crass and uncouth and still be funny. It's a matter of taste and opinion, but it can happen.

However - women trying to act like uncouth, crass men - not funny. And certainly no more funny than a man acting like an uncouth, crass woman.

Amy Schumer has been hired by Anheuser-Busch company as a “spokesperson.”

http://contactus.anheuser-busch.com/contactus/ab/contact_us.asp

Anybody want to contact the makers of Budweiser?

The liberal mental illness causes them to speak to strangers as if they believe the same as they believe.
