Marc Maron Talks Donald Trump, Comedy and The Left

I guess Marc Maron doesn't like Dave Chappelle, because he's black.

[TexasFreeper2009]

learn how to take a joke you liberal Karens!

nothing is more facist than liberal trying to control how people talk and joke.

[nickcarraway]

Calling them liberals is super inaccurate. He’s a leftist fascist.

[Valpal1]

Never heard ofvthis guy, do know who Chapelle and Maher.

[rwa265]

If Maron cannot agree with at least one thing that Trump has done, he is the one who is irrelevant.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

This guy is a joke. He is actually arguing that if you think sex is determined by biology rather than by simple personal choice, that makes you a fascist.

I could at least comprehend labeling someone who holds those views as a bigot, homophobe, transphobe, etc.. But fascist?? That's just absurd. One has nothing to do with the other.

[gibsonguy]

Yeah putting Chapelle on equals Fascism. Sure, that’s reasonable.

[nickcarraway]

He was a standup in the 90’s who was on TV a lot, but his career kind of flamed out, then in 2009 he started a podcast the rebirthed his career. He interviewed comedians at first, and eventually Obama. I think he also had a show on Air America for a while. One thing you can be sure of, he’s better and more moral than the rest of us.

[shelterguy]

Chapelle did a hilarious bit on Netflix about the LGBDQ+-$&? riding together in a car. If a white guy did it he would be in prison.

[Menehune56]

Aptly named... Marc Moron.

[Ge0ffrey]

To these commies, anyone to the left of AOC is a fascist.

[Ge0ffrey]

More like marxo-fascist.

[Justa]

Why do you post an article citing a depraved lunatic unless you are also one!

[nickcarraway]

We are supposed to ignore what’s going on in the world? That would be foolish.

[Nekman]

Desperately Seeking Relevance......wasn’t that a movie?....

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Not giving Marcon a choice to choose and having to "select" the trans-community is the very definition of fascism.

Irony.

[LRoggy]

If you watched the remake of GLOW, he was the guy who was the creator of the wrestling storylines and directed the TV broadcasts

[Celtic Conservative]

Marc ceased being funny during the first Clinton administration and it’s been downhill ever since.

[sauropod]

Maron is certainly self-important, isn’t he?

[egfowler3]

Does anyone know who this Marc Maron is? I’ve certainly never heard of him. AND, from the article I don’t want to... ever!
