Comic George Lopez was booed off stage at a gala for juvenile diabetes in Denver last week, over an anti-Donald Trump routine that fell flat with the crowd.
Were told the flap began when Trump backer and Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei donated $250,000 but requested that Lopez cool it with the anti-Trump jokes at the Carousel Ball.
An attendee at the event where tables sold from $5,000 to $100,000 to benefit the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes commented on a YouTube video that George was asked nicely to stop making Trump jokes by a man in front row [Maffei] who just donated $250K. But George doesnt, continues. Gets booed.
Were told that Lopez responded to Maffei, Thank you for changing my opinion on old white men, but it doesnt change the way I feel about orange men.
Trying to recover and sensing the audience turn, Lopez said, Listen, its about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.

George Lopez had promised to leave the USA if Trump was elected.
Glad I wasn’t there. That wHite privilege line would have had me in his dirty, lying, self-serving 1% face.
Please tell me there is video of this unfunny CLOWN getting booed off.
I ran into him at the Chicago airport a few years ago. B grade celeb at best.
He sure is trying to look like Cheech Marin with the hat, glasses and mustache. You sir are no Cheech.
The guy is a real piece of work.
“So I apologize to your white privilege.
They have been getting away with this **** for years.
If you are white, by their lights and prevailing social customs you are presumed not just “privileged” but a “white nationalist” and racist.
**** that ****.
They feel free to say outrageous, insulting and racist things that would cost a white comedian his career.
That ************* piece of **** can kiss my white ***.
Furthermore, *********, ********************* and *************** and *************************************.
The entire notion of “White Privilege” is racist, evil, and an attempt to dehumanize others. Dehumanization is the tactic of the wicked, and leads to persecution, oppression, demonetization, and ultimately, violence or even genocide.

The White Privilege issue is persecution.
George Lopez has always acted like a LaRaza tool. I gave up on him years ago. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I used to enjoy some of his stuff. Then found out what a leftist twit he is.
So, wrote him off. Same with Conan O’Brien. Of course, all of TBS seems that way. Saw a couple of the cast members of Big Bang Theory of hating on President Trump. On TBS (commercial for it).
Biggest joke of the nite right there.
You is jes’ sayin’ that cuz you gots dat White Privilege.
You is White. Like me.
Where, exactly, BTW is all this privilege? Is there a phone number to call or something?
(yes I can’t believe all the idiots who actually think it’s real and/or push the lie)
Im sure glad hes taking good care of his ex-wifes kidney.
No kidding
Lopez is a Laraza jerk. Always has been.
Who hired this racist? This is not the first incident his racism has been an issue.
where tables sold from $5,000 to $100,000
[Maffei] who just donated $250K
This is good news. This means conservatives with money(with money comes influence) see what’s going on and will fight.
Some people just do not know when to stop.
Right on! No safe spaces for liberal comedians
You’re not funny, you dull white priik!
(lol)
