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.

After I read this article, I thought to myself..... Wouldn’t it be nice to have brown skin, so that I can have George Lopes privilege.
I’ve lost track of which Hollywood/media type I will never watch again. So my new policy is that they must submit a “Petition to be Watched,” stating:
1. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
2. I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States.
Where can I get my share of white privilege? Somehow I missed out on mine. All I’ve ever seen is affirmative action privilege that has hurt my male relatives, and put many unqualified people in jobs they didn’t deserve.
Good. He’s a no talent bum who’s been milking the racism cow and I’m glad it caught up to him. Go get a real job George, and complain to you coworkers at McDonald’s how you were chased out of show business by racist whites.
;)
>>>His entire act: Im Mexican<<<
I used to like the Bill Dana Mexican, Jose Jimenez.
Bill would be receiving death threats today.
I even enjoyed Cheech Marin. His character would still be fine, especially since he loved smoking the evil weed.
Yes, some of us are currently experiencing the disaster.
Meanwhile, one of the local TV stations recently issued a “Tomato Warning”. I don’t know if that’s like a Sharknado or not.
As you can see, they do really fine work.
this annoying pos has made a few million or more off of raging against white people in his alleged comedy act. Flush this turd.
Yes this true and I am amazed! What an unmitigated POS.
"George Lopez and his wife, screenwriter Ann Serrano Lopez who famously donated one of her kidneys to him, are divorcing after 17 years."
Because they have worn out the word racist, it is now on to white privilege.
A tomato warning??? That is too funny! My husband once heard a woman newscaster (perhaps affirmative action hire for reasons I won’t state) refer to WWII as “World War Eleven”. When the co-anchor tried to correct her, she insisted that it was written right there on her paper... World War Eleven.
They’ve done others, too. But the important thing to remember is that they are smarter than the rest of us. That’s why they support liberal agendas and Obama.
