    So what? It’s like pointing out the sky is blue. He got some internet fame a couple of years ago for being good at handling hecklers. This entire video is a pathetic attempt at capitalizing from mindless political outrage and the entire format of the video is nothing more than pandering in the hope that he gets blessed by the algorithm. I don’t disagree with the statement, I disagree with the format.
    Most comedians are dumb as shit and we should demand higher quality when we consume political content. A ten year old could make this video (with sources).

      You sound unreasonably angry about this, even personally so. Did a comedian sleep with you and never call? Did your wife leave you for a YouTube content creator?

      Or are you just a misguided curmudgeon insisting that the medium is more important than the message?

          Dude, your entire point is an ad hominem about the dude who made the video with a bit of “medium is more important than the message” nonsense sprinkled on top 🤦
