Taking the joke out of context won't work anymore. You claimed racism, but showed no proof of racism

[jasondk]

DEI is racist and you dont complain about that?

Every time i give MSM a chance to be honest they always let me down

As a life long conservative who cannot stand Trump, I have to say Trump didn’t say anything racist, and the comedian told a stupid crass, classless, racist joke that nobody laughed at. This is a big nothing burger

George Lopez at a Harris rally joked that Mexicans take anything not nailed down. Democrats werent offended by that. Typical selective righteous indignation. 😂Offended over a bad joke from a COMEDIAN but no righteous indignation for 225, 000 missing children from open border policies.
Offended by everything ashamed of nothing.

This sounds very bias... When I watch news I want to form my own opinion.

This segment went down like a wet piece of toast 😂. Keep up the great journalism ABC! Your Propaganda is seen for exactly what it is. Your time has passed.

The scariest part is half of America loves it.

That Comedian is a Total Jerk. If they think this Rhetoric is going to bring undecided voters to the gop, I really don't think that cuts it. I'm A New Yorrican, which means I was born & raised in NY from Pure Puerto Ricans coming from PR . My parents worked hard to give us everything & NO we were not in the system, because our parents worked long & hard for the American Dream. So this jerk is not a Comedian, he is an uniformed piece of
