The 52-year-old actress and comedian blasted the socialist organization on Tuesday in a post on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CyNBuLkL03V/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> to her 2 million followers, sharing a screenshot from the DSA National Political Committee that read, &#8220;DSA is steadfast in expressing our solidarity with Palestine,&#8221; and claimed that the attack was &#8220;a direct result of Israel&#8217;s apartheid regime — a regime that receives billions in funding from the United States. End the violence. End the Occupation. Free Palestine.&#8221;
Silverman <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12617251/Sarah-Silverman-slams-Democratic-Socialists-America-Palestine.html">responded</a> that she had been a &#8220;proud lifetime member&#8221; to the organization, but that statement was a bridge too far. She went on to say that the organization has &#8220;lost me forever &#8230; This is what they felt they needed to post ELEVEN motherf****g HOURS ago.&#8221;

‘F*** You…’: Sarah Silverman Slams Socialist Organization After It Blames Israel For Hamas Terrorist Attacks

Entertainment

Terrorists

Woke celebrities do as they’re told by their cancel culture masters … or else.
The most farcical example? “Saved by the Bell” alum Mario Lopez apologized for suggesting it’s dangerous for <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/31/entertainment/mario-lopez-apology-trnd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3-year-olds to determine their gender</a>.
In other cases, stars virtue signal to increase their employment potential and keep past “problematic” work from suddenly resurfacing.
A few celebrities have seen the folly of the woke revolution. It’s often because they’ve been personally impacted by the new cultural rules, and they can’t help but publicly backpedal.
At least a little.
The most recent example? Pakistani-American comic actor Kumail Nanjiani of “Eternals” fame complained about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/eternals-actor-said-hollywood-wont-cast-non-white-people-as-bad-guys-despite-his-desire-to-play-a-villain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not being able to snag a ripe role</a> as a film or TV show villain. The bad guys are often the most interesting roles to play.
Why? Hollywood isn’t interested in making people of color <a href="https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/tv/a42430017/kumail-nanjiani-interview-chippendales/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the bad guy or gal</a> these days. He sounds envious of fellow MCU star Sebastian Stan, whose versatile career includes playing the quasi-heroic Winter Soldier as well as the villain in horror movies like “Fresh.”
<blockquote>He does these big Marvel movies, and then he’ll play a psychopath. I was told that’s going to be hard because people don’t want to cast non-white people as bad guys.</blockquote>
Nanjiani sees the problem, but he can’t connect the critical dots. Identity politics run wild means actors can no longer act as they did before. Female directors must helm female superhero films. Straight actors shouldn’t play gay characters. And casting a person of color as the villain could be seen as stigmatizing, if not racist.
He’s not the only progressive star who has seen the dark side of the current woke wave.
Jim Gaffigan suffered a bout of Trump Derangement Syndrome in recent years, pushing his formerly apolitical act to the Left. He’s even worse on Twitter, sadly, sounding like a bad MSNBC parody.
He’s also shifted his career to more acting gigs, and he’s acquitted himself well in films like “Chappaquiddick” and “Being Frank.” The latter 2018 film, alas, got him caught up in the woke community’s web.
The movie follows a father (Gaffigan) who secretly serves as the patriarch for not one but two families. Some of the film’s reviews weren’t kind, but not for the usual reasons.
<a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/jim-gaffigan-woke-film-critics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He shared his concerns</a> on “The Joe Rogan Experience” shortly after the film’s release.
<blockquote>A lot of the reviews … there was a tone of like, ‘how dare this white male [laughs] have two families. They couldn’t get beyond … they would insert, like, a social commentary onto a platform that was not for that. … Some reviews were like, ‘they under-served them!’ You know, the movie was really about my character and his son. … Because of the day we live in, it had to be deciphered through this kind of social critique that is just absurd. And it wasn’t here and there. It was a lot of reviews like that.</blockquote>
Far-Left comic Sarah Silverman once sang the praises of the woke revolution. Let the young social justice <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/09/sarah-silverman-comedians-college-kids-tiff-2015" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warriors teach us how to live our lives</a>, she said.
That was in 2015.
She later said that she lost a coveted movie role because someone objected to a 2007 episode of “The Sarah Silverman Program” in which she donned blackface. The story actually spoke out strongly against racism, but Silverman’s choice of makeup, and the way she attacked the issue, effectively canceled her for the film in question.
After that confession, the liberal comic’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/aug/12/sarah-silverman-fired-from-film-blackface-photo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attitude toward woke shifted</a>. Witness this 2020 rant from her podcast:
<blockquote>If we don&#8217;t give these people a path to redemption, then they&#8217;re going to go where they are accepted, which is the mother****ing dark side.</blockquote>
Silverman hasn’t modulated her progressive politics, but she sees the woke revolution in a far less flattering light than before.
Comic actor Aziz Ansari’s stage shtick often mocked white culture, aligning neatly with the woke mindset suggesting it’s acceptable to target that demographic. His career briefly flatlined after a 2018 blog-style expose written by a 23-year-old woman who accused the &#8220;Parks and Recreation&#8221; star of behaving aggressively during a sexual situation.
It was a “she said, he said” case, except the #MeToo Movement demanded her accusations be taken at face value without him offering a vigorous defense. 
His career briefly crumbled as a result. Ansari slowly crept back into the limelight, treading carefully when the subject of the date in question came up. He uses his stand-up routine to mock white people, still, but it’s often to taunt them for their performative wokeness.
Not all stars follow this pattern. Tina Fey, one of the funnier comic minds of the 21st century, once told jokes with abandon. Her “30 Rock” NBC showcase mocked the Left and the Right, and it came of age right before woke took over.
So when she got hammered by the far Left over jokes on her Netflix comedy “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” Fey didn’t back down.
She said she makes it a policy <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/things-to-do/2015/12/21/tina-fey-jokes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not to explain jokes</a>. That was 2016. She later realized she might get in trouble for sticking to that core belief, and she had a <a href="https://variety.com/2021/tv/features/tina-fey-mean-girls-movie-snl-1234967386/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dramatic change of heart</a>.
“Everyone’s figuring out what the new rules of comedy are. They definitely have changed for the better.”

Left-leaning comedians are a dime a dozen.
It’s also true that some woke jokesters are more extreme than others. Stand-up stars may try to appeal to the widest audience, meaning they’ll dial it back on the partisan jokes. However, plenty of comedians have become activists, especially following the 2016 election.
Many comedians claim to have no explicit bias, saying they don’t belong to either party while technically espousing views that are way more liberal than conservative. Ahead, these are the most outspoken leftist comedians who currently think they’re hilarious.
<h3>Jon Stewart</h3>
Back in the late 90s, Stewart took over hosting Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and quickly became one of the preeminent political comedy stars in the country. He was a satirist, but his young, liberal, male audience trusted him to tell the truth about what was going on in politics.
In a 2002 <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/02/11/is-it-funny-yet">interview</a> with The New Yorker, Stewart described himself as the voice of “the disenfranchised center.” But even then his politics leaned left. At one point the late night host called his beliefs more independent or socialist than Democrat.
Later, Stewart <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/show-tracker/story/2012-05-30/late-night-jon-stewart-clarifies-his-support-for-socialism">clarified</a> that while he doesn’t support “state control of industry or collectivizing farms,” he is in favor of the single-payer healthcare system and was a huge proponent of the Affordable Care Act.
Over the years, Stewart became more cynical and bitter and less funny. His new AppleTV+ show “The Problem With Jon Stewart” has mostly been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jon-stewarts-new-apple-tv-show-rumored-to-be-a-huge-flop-report">a ratings disaster</a> kept afloat solely because of nostalgic fans who miss “The Daily Show” and the ignorance of youth.
<h3>Jimmy Kimmel</h3>
Speaking of universal healthcare supporters, fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is yet another example of a leftist comedian. The 54-year-old “Jimmy Kimmel Live” star used the story of his son being born with a congenital heart condition to make the case for overhauling healthcare in the U.S.
“If your baby is going to die and it doesn’t have to, it shouldn’t matter how much money you make,” he <a href="https://youtu.be/MmWWoMcGmo0">said</a> in 2017. “I think that’s something that whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right?”
He’s also in favor of “common sense” gun laws, which he <a href="https://youtu.be/ruYeBXudsds">spoke</a> about following the Las Vegas shooting. 
“What I’m talking about tonight isn’t about gun control; it’s about common sense,” Kimmel said at the time. “Common sense says no good will ever come from allowing a person to have weapons that can take down 527 Americans at a concert. Common sense says you don’t let those who suffer from mental illness buy guns.”
<h3>John Oliver</h3>
Emmy Award winner John Oliver is British but has become a staple on American television thanks to stints on “The Daily Show” and the HBO series “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”
Though he’s not originally from this country, Oliver endorsed Joe Biden for president and openly celebrated his and Kamala Harris&#8217;s win in the 2020 US presidential election. He described Donald Trump’s defeat as a “reverse 9/11” because of all the celebrating in the city of Manhattan.
&#8220;It was like that all day here in New York,&#8221; he said, per <a href="https://www.distractify.com/p/john-oliver-political-views">Distractify</a>. &#8220;There was a mood here that can only be described as a reverse 9/11. Why? Because it combined complete euphoria, an abiding disgust for Rudy Giuliani, and this time people actually were dancing on the rooftops in New Jersey. It was a really good day. Never forget.&#8221;
In 2021, Oliver <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hbo-host-john-oliver-calls-parents-opposed-to-school-mask-mandates-idiots">called</a> parents who opposed school mask mandates “idiots,” and said “We are only fighting about masks in school right now because there are a bunch of foolish adults who have decided not to get the vaccine, and to all of them, I can only say, to quote a bunch of upsettingly loud idiots, ‘We know who you are, and you’re the f***ing problem.’”
<h3>Samantha Bee</h3>
It may be controversial to describe Samantha Bee as a comedian seeing as how very few people find her funny. But the far-left activist has certainly expressed her feelings on a wide range of topics such as gender theory and women’s rights.
“This year, we’re seeing a tidal wave of transphobic legislation targeting kids, largely in retaliation for President Biden’s executive order to protect trans rights,” she said, telling conservatives to “mind their own f***ing business” when it came to protecting female sports, per <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-samantha-bee-tells-republicans-to-stop-transphobic-bills-and-mind-their-own-fing-business">The Daily Wire</a>. 
“They falsely claim trans women automatically have more testosterone and therefore more muscle mass than cis women,” Bee continued. “But studies don’t show a consistent relationship between testosterone and athletic performance.”
The comedian accused Republicans of “fear-mongering” in regard to trans sports debates just like they did with bathroom bills.
<h3>Lewis Black</h3>
No one seems angrier than a screaming Lewis Black, who made his brand of “rage comedy” into a recognizable brand. He’s also a <a href="https://www.dailypress.com/entertainment/dp-xpm-20130920-2013-09-20-dp-fea-lewis-black-0920-20130920-story.html">self-described</a> socialist who has no love for either party but is pro-gun control and pro-healthcare reform. Basically, Black hates everyone – especially Republicans.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve done something with these two political parties that really is unbelievable. No other country has done it. No other country,” he <a href="https://www.wpr.org/comedian-lewis-blacks-conundrum-how-do-you-satirize-satirical">observed</a> during a standup act last year. “We used to have parties that argued ideas. Not anymore. Now we have two separate political parties that actually exist in two totally different realities.&#8221;
That’s one thing this left-leaning comedian gets absolutely right.
<h3>David Cross</h3>
Best known for his role on “Arrested Development,” David Cross is also a leftist who is happy to bring politics into his standup routine, even if it means people walking out of his shows all the time. During a 2016 <a href="https://www.avclub.com/david-cross-on-why-his-comedy-tour-pissed-off-people-ri-1798250771">interview</a> with The A.V. Club, the comedian described himself as, “more socialist Democrat” than a “centrist” like Hillary Clinton.
“I think regulation for banks and those platforms that Bernie Sanders had are good for the whole of America. I’m not going to benefit from free college education, but I think all those things are good for the country,” he said.
<h3>Sarah Silverman</h3>
Like so many others, Sarah Silverman became especially political during the 2016 election, aggressively campaigning first for Bernie Sanders and then accepting Hillary Clinton as her next best option. She supported Sanders again in 2020.
Silverman is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, though she said she’s become increasingly fed up with both parties.
“I just, I don’t know that I want to be associated with any party. I really, I think I don’t want to be associated with any party anymore,” Silverman told <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/03/15/sarah-silverman-is-right-democrats-are-the-party-of-absolutism/">viewers</a> in 2021. “It just, it comes with too much baggage. Every party, it comes with so much f***ing baggage that no ideas can be taken at face value.”

No Longer Dialing It Back: 7 Woke Comedians Possessed By Politics

comedian

Comedy

Jimmy Kimmel

John Oliver

Jon Stewart

Samantha Bee

The best comedians bring an actorly flourish to the stand-up stage.
George Carlin’s comic inflections made every keen observation sharper. Sebastian Maniscalco’s physical shtick magnifies his funniest punchlines.
Many stand-ups move on to the big screen, like Jo Koy in the recent culture clash comedy “Easter Sunday.”
The best of the best are as proficient with dramatic moments as they are with killer punchlines.
<h4>Jamie Foxx</h4>
He’s one of Hollywood’s most versatile stars, turning the heads of A-list directors like Quentin Tarantino (“Django Unchained”) and Oliver Stone (“Any Given Sunday”). Foxx, whose real name is Eric Marlon Bishop, started his career by slinging jokes on the stand-up circuit.
The industry quickly noted his outsized skill set. His versatility powered his run on “In Living Color” and landed him his own, self-titled sitcom.
At the Oscar ceremony in 2005, Foxx got the ultimate honor for his acting in 2004 with not one but two Oscar nominations. 
His performance in “Collateral” earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination, but veteran Morgan Freeman took home the golden statue in that night. It was Foxx’s powerhouse performance in “Ray” that earned him the ultimate Best Actor prize.
Since then, he’s bounced from serious fare to horror-comedies like Netflix’s “Day Shift,” making every project he’s in brighter.
<h4>Jim Carrey</h4>
The fellow “In Living Color” alum became that show’s breakout star, but he cut his teeth on comedy stages prior to the sketch series. That rubbery face and knack for impressions gave his stand-up material snap.
It also made him a natural for big-screen comedies like “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” and “Dumb and Dumber.” He wasn’t satisfied with mindless comic romps, and pursued richer roles to flash his range.
Films like “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Man on the Moon” proved Carrey could pull off dramatic work with equal finesse, even if he’s still awaiting his first Oscar nomination. In between, Carrey <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-carrey-announces-end-to-his-political-paintings">published garish caricatures</a> that showcased conservative stars at the very worst. Perhaps that inner rage gave him an edge when the film cameras pointed his way.
<h4>Whoopi Goldberg 
</h4>
We know her these days for her factually-challenged work on “The View,” but during the 1980s her one-woman show grabbed Hollywood by the scruff of its neck. “The Spook Show” became an off-Broadway sensation, and it was only a matter of time before she brought her comedic chops to the Great White Way.
There was no one else quite like Whoopi, something that got Steven Spielberg’s attention. Goldberg’s performance in the director’s 1985 drama “The Color Purple” snagged her an Oscar nomination. Many thought Goldberg got robbed, but she made the most of her second chance. Her comically charged performance in 1990’s “Ghost” wouldn’t be denied by Oscar voters.
Goldberg’s career eventually cooled off, leading her to join Barbara Walters in what’s become TV’s most embarrassing talk show.
<h4>Steve Martin</h4>
The wild and crazy comic became a stand-up sensation in the late 1970s before he quit to focus on other ventures. (His 2008 book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Born-Standing-Up-Comics-Life/dp/1416553657">“Born Standing Up”</a> recalls that iconic, but short-lived, career arc.)
He quickly found success with big-screen comedies like “The Jerk,” “The Man with Two Brains,” and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” but Martin’s creativity eventually moved beyond pratfalls and sight gags. Films like 1989’s “Parenthood” let him gently stretch beyond his comic persona, suggesting an evolving talent that was eager to take some risks.
Two years later, he joined the sharp ensemble drama “Grand Canyon,” playing a movie producer who gets a hard dose of reality.
He later co-starred in “The Spanish Prisoner,” David Mamet’s well-received noir about a tech inventor (Campbell Scott) accused of murder. Martin co-starred as a mysterious man whose initial kindness may be masking something more sinister.
Martin’s latest triumph, Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” leans on both his comedic and serious adroitness and adaptability.
<h4>Sarah Silverman</h4>
The far-Left comic began her show biz career as the potty-mouthed comic with the kewpie doll image. She looked so innocent, so sweet, but she could belt out the bawdy bits like the big boys.
She eventually added sitcom star to her resume, starring in Comedy Central’s “The Sarah Silverman Program.” She proved she could carry a show on her own, which led to more acting gigs.
She found steady work via smaller roles in both dramatic and humorous fare, but her turn in 2015’s “I Smile Back” briefly buried her comic impulses. She credibly played an addicted housewife trying to hold her life, and family, together.
<h4>Robin Williams</h4>
Mork from Ork could have been a one-hit wonder, and his ABC sitcom “Mork and Mindy” had all the trappings of a gimmicky sensation.
He was only warming up, creatively speaking.
The comic genius leaned heavily on his instincts for comedies like “Popeye,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” and “Good Morning, Vietnam.” The latter film gave him plenty of dramatic moments, a side of the chameleon we’d see more of in the years to come.
He previewed his dramatic turn with a film made at the end of his “Mork” moment.
He played the title character in the adaptation of John Irving’s “The World According to Garp” in 1982, unafraid of the film’s darker themes.
Straight dramas like “Dead Poets Society” and “Awakenings” proved he was far more than a mile-a-minute joke teller. His 1997 Best Supporting Actor award for “Good Will Hunting” confirmed what everyone knew by then. Williams could do it all.
The late actor’s most surprising work may be “World’s Greatest Dad.” The bleak 2009 dramedy, from the mind of Bobcat Goldthwaite, cast Williams as a father who finds fame by turning his son’s accidental death into a writing career.

On Friday, MSNBC host Joy Reid tweeted out an <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/02/politics/florida-state-guard-desantis/index.html">article</a> from CNN regarding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ proposal to re-establish a Florida State Guard.
The title of the CNN article is as follows: “DeSantis proposes a new civilian military force in Florida that he would control.”
Reid wrote in her tweet: “So… y’all know this is fascisty bananas, right…?”
Several hours later, leftist comedian Sarah Silverman castigated Reid over her tweet. “Please read the article before you post this stuff you’re a news outlet. The truth has to matter,” Silverman posted.

The <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/02/politics/florida-state-guard-desantis/index.html">CNN article</a> regarding the potential “civilian military force” in Florida actually notes that such a thing is not at all uncommon:
<blockquote>States have the power to create defense forces separate from the national guard, though not all of them use it. If Florida moves ahead with DeSantis&#8217; plan to reestablish the civilian force, it would become the 23rd active state guard in the country…</blockquote>
The article adds that DeSantis is looking to spend approximately $3.5 million on a “volunteer force of 200 civilians.”
This state guard would bolster Florida’s National Guard, and be ready to help in the event of natural disasters, and “other state emergencies,” according to the <a href="https://www.flgov.com/2021/12/02/governor-ron-desantis-announces-military-budget-proposal-to-guard-floridas-future/">press release</a> from DeSantis’ office.
“The establishment of the Florida State Guard will further support those emergency response efforts in the event of a hurricane, natural disasters and other state emergencies,” the press release reads. “The $3.5 million to establish the Florida State Guard will enable civilians to be trained in the best emergency response techniques. By establishing the Florida State Guard, Florida will become the 23rd state with a state guard recognized by the federal government.”
The Florida State Guard would differ from Florida’s National Guard in that it would not be jointly controlled by the state and federal government.
According to the Heritage Foundation:
<blockquote>Currently, 23 states and territories have modern militias. As of 2005, these militias had a force strength of approximately 14,000 individuals nationwide. Most commonly known as State Defense Forces (SDFs) or state militias, these forces are distinct from the Reserves and the National Guard in that they serve no federal function. In times of both war and peace, SDFs remain solely under the control of their governors, allowing the governors to deploy them easily and readily in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.</blockquote>
Speaking on Thursday, Governor DeSantis said of the state guard:
<blockquote>We also want to make sure that we have the flexibility and the ability needed to respond to events in our state in the most effective way possible. And some of that will require us to be able to have access and be able to use support in ways that are not encumbered by the federal government and don&#8217;t require federal government.
So, I&#8217;m going to be recommending in the budget $3.5 million to re-establish the Florida State Guard. The Florida State Guard will act as a civilian volunteer force that will have the ability to assist the National Guard in state specific emergencies. This funding will support the necessary training, equipment, and other support functions for up to 200 members who can aid in the response to hurricanes, natural disasters, and other state emergencies.
We want to be able to have a quick response capability, and re-establishing the Florida State Guard will allow civilians from all over the state to be trained in the best emergency response techniques and have the ability to mobilize very, very quickly. And this is something that many other states have utilized, and I think Florida is in the minority of states that has allowed this to go defunct, so we&#8217;re happy to be able to bring that back.

Sarah Silverman Drags Joy Reid Over Misleading Anti-DeSantis Tweet: ‘Truth Has To Matter’

On Wednesday, Fox News’ meteorologist Janice Dean, who had relentlessly pursued New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo for his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, targeted celebrities who had lavished praise on Cuomo but still have not apologized for their championing of him.
She tweeted, “It would be very helpful if some of these celebrities that fawned over @andrewcuomo fessed up to their terrible judgement and apologized to the women and families affected by their tone deaf comments last year. But they won’t. “
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Dean then named some celebrities who had lauded Cuomo last year, including Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Joel, Billy Crystal, Rosie Perez, Ben Stiller, Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman, and Cher.

In November 2020, when the Emmys <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/andrew-cuomo-emmy-ceremony-draws-mockery-embarrassing">gave Cuomo the Founders Award</a> &#8220;in recognition of his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world,&#8221; host Bruce Paisner stated:
<blockquote>Last spring, when the virus was new and out of control, and the people of New York were frightened at its relentless spread. One man took it upon himself to use technology to spread reliable information and tell citizens what to do. … And as spring turned into summer this year, the people of New York went from fear of the unknown to increasing knowledge of what was known and a sense that somebody had a plan.</blockquote>
Billy Crystal <a href="https://abc7ny.com/cuomo-emmy-award-international-academy-of-television-arts-and-sciences-coronavirus-daily-briefings/8203781/">breathed</a>, “In the darkest days of the pandemic, your daily briefings, live from New York, gave us hope, gave us clarity, gave us the truth, and gave us something we were not getting from Washington: Leadership.”
Billy Joel added, “In the midst of this storm, Andrew Cuomo became the nation&#8217;s governor. People across the country tuned into his press conferences every day.” Perez stated, “Governor Andrew Cuomo, you are the man.” Stiller: “I look up to you still.”
Joel wrote of Cuomo <a href="https://vermilioncountyfirst.com/2020/03/31/billy-joel-wife-salute-governor-andrew-cuomo/">on his website</a> in March 2020, “We are not at all surprised by his leadership during such a chaotic time and we are so proud of him. We’re lucky to call him ‘The Godfather,’ his favorite title, and our friend.”
In March 2020, Handler penned an <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/chelsea-handler-andrew-cuomo-love-letter">article in Vogue</a> with the gushing title, “Dear Andrew Cuomo, I Want to Be Your First Lady.” She wrote:
<blockquote>Between watching episodes of Tiger King and episodes of Trump’s daily press briefings and trying to find more marijuana to ingest, I quicken to something that cuts through the insanity. Out of the darkness, you, Andrew Cuomo, walk into my life, looking remarkably like the Incredible Hulk.… Thank you, Andrew Cuomo.

Cher had her moment of gushing in April 2020, tweeting, “I’m in love with Andrew Cuomo.”

Comedian Sarah Silverman advocated for biological males who identify as female to be allowed to participate in girls’ and women&#8217;s sports.
The comedian also called California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, a &#8220;t***&#8221; for acknowledging biological differences and advocating the separation of sports by biology instead of gender identity. Silverman even suggested Jenner, who is transgender, is transphobic.
&#8220;I saw Caitlyn Jenner saying trans girls should not play girls sports,&#8221; said Silverman. &#8220;Caitlyn, you&#8217;re a woman, right? A trans girl is a girl, she should have the same rights as cis girls.&#8221;
Earlier this month, Jenner told TMZ that the separation of biological males and females in sports comes down to &#8220;fairness.&#8221;
“That’s why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls’ sports in school,&#8221; the former Olympic gold medalist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-olympic-gold-medalist-caitlyn-jenner-biological-boys-should-not-be-allowed-to-compete-in-girls-sports-because-its-not-fair">said</a>. “It just isn’t fair and we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools.&#8221;
&#8220;If you think a trans girl — what, you think a trans girl is too strong?&#8221; Silverman continued. &#8220;What about tall girls as opposed to short girls? What about boys in high school who are teeny tiny and their teammates have already hit puberty and are shaving? Why don&#8217;t you just have co-ed sports divided by weight or height, ya know? This is so dumb.&#8221;
Contrary to Silverman&#8217;s argument, numerous studies (and any life experience) confirm the biological differences between males and females, such as the structure and size of our bones, lung capacity, and muscle strength.
As highlighted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/can-men-and-women-compete-athletically-heres-what-the-science-says">The Daily Wire</a>, for example, &#8220;[a] <a href="https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jappl.2000.89.1.81">study</a> in the Journal of Applied Physiology shows that men have approximately 40% greater upper body strength and 33% greater lower body strength than women on average. Overall, women <a href="http://archive.sciendo.com/SSR/ssr.2012.xxi.issue-3-4/v10237-012-0015-5/v10237-012-0015-5.pdf">have</a> somewhere between 37-68% the muscle strength of men.&#8221;
Moreover, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/study-trans-women-still-have-athletic-advantage-over-women-after-year-of-hormone-therapy">recent study</a> confirmed the biological athletic advantages men have over women even after one year of hormone therapy, which many LGBT activists claim would level the playing field for girls. The study can be looked at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/study-trans-women-still-have-athletic-advantage-over-women-after-year-of-hormone-therapy">here</a>.
&#8220;They are legislating this s*** without one single example of how this plays out,&#8221; Silverman claimed.
Of course, this is not true, either. There are numerous examples of biological girls being bested by biological males who identify as female. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-times-transgender-athletes-dominated-womens-sports">Here are just five examples</a>, compiled by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-times-transgender-athletes-dominated-womens-sports">The Daily Wire</a>.
&#8220;This is not worrying about girls sports, believe me,&#8221; Silverman said, arguing that the acknowledgment of biological differences is just a cover for &#8220;transphobia.&#8221;
&#8220;I think there are better ways to worry about girls sports. This is not worrying about — this is not what that is, this is not concern for girls sports. It&#8217;s transphobia, full stop.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s just such a bummer when such a prominent trans woman is such a t***,&#8221; she added, referencing Jenner.

Comedian Sarah Silverman ripped the Democratic Party during an emotional video posted to Instagram on Friday, criticizing the Democrats for not allowing progress and suggesting that she no longer wants to be associated with any party.
&#8220;It&#8217;s the absolutist-ness of the party I am in that is such a turnoff to me,&#8221; the Democrat ally said. &#8220;It&#8217;s so f***ing elitist. You know, for something called &#8216;progressive&#8217;, it allows for zero progress.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s all or nothing, no &#8216;steps toward&#8217;,&#8221; Silverman continued, zeroing-in on the Left&#8217;s appetite for &#8220;canceling&#8221; the impure or &#8220;offensive.&#8221; &#8220;All or  f***ing nothing. Again, righteousness porn.&#8221;
&#8220;And I&#8217;ve been thinking about this a lot, just in general, I just, I don&#8217;t know that I want to be associated with any party,&#8221; she asserted. &#8220;I really, I think I don&#8217;t want to be associated with any party anymore. &#8230; It just, it comes with too much baggage. Every party, it comes with so much f***ing baggage that no ideas can be taken at face value. And, without ideas, what are we? Without a common truth, how can we talk about it?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, Republicans might hear an idea that they would totally agree with, but, if it comes from AOC then they hate it. And of course, you know, to be honest, when I hear an idea that comes from a Republican, it&#8217;s suspect to me,&#8221; she admitted.
&#8220;We all put too much s*** on this stuff. We are no longer able to be a nation of ideas.&#8221;
Silverman has been a strong ally to the Democrat Party. Speaking at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, for example, the comedian made waves when she blasted supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), for whom she was a surrogate, for not rallying behind twice-failed candidate Hillary Clinton after she won the primary.
&#8220;To the Bernie-or-bust people, let me just tell you: You’re being ridiculous,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/25/democrats-dispatched-sarah-silverman-to-defuse-the-bernie-sanders-situation-it-didnt-go-great/">said</a> at the convention, and she was met with some boos.
Silverman, however, has seemingly become increasingly dissatisfied with the Left&#8217;s taking to Cancel Culture, in particular.
In October 2020, she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sarah-silverman-slams-cancel-culture-as-righteousness-porn-warns-it-could-push-people-into-hate-groups">likened</a> Cancel Culture to &#8220;righteousness porn,&#8221; highlighting the conversion of her friend Christian Picciolini, who she said used to be a neo-Nazi.
“In this cancel culture, and we all know what I’m talking about — whether you think there is one or there isn’t one or where you stand on it, and there’s a lot of gray matter there — but without a path to redemption, when you take someone, you found a tweet they wrote seven years ago or a thing that they said and you expose it and you say, ‘This person should be no more. Banish them forever.’ They’re going to find some place where they are accepted. And it’s not going to be with progressives, which ironically means ‘to be changed; progress,'&#8221; she said, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sarah-silverman-slams-cancel-culture-as-righteousness-porn-warns-it-could-push-people-into-hate-groups">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
“If we don’t give these people a path to redemption, then they’re going to go where they are accepted, which is the motherf***ing dark side,” Silverman added. “I think there should be some kind of path — do we want people to be changed? Or do we want them to stay the same, to freeze in a moment we found on the internet from 12 years ago? And so we can point to ourselves as right and them as wrong. It’s righteousness porn.&#8221;
Notably, Silverman herself was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sarah-silverman-regrets-former-blackface-comedy-paul-bois" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the subject of cancel culture</a> in 2019, when footage re-emerged showing the comedian wearing blackface in a sketch.

WATCH: Sarah Silverman Rips Democrat Party: Nothing ‘Progressive’ About It, Don’t Want To Be Associated With Any Party

Speaking on the “SmartLess” podcast, hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, Sarah Silverman admitted that she got away with offensive humor because she was a liberal.
Arnett brought up a bit Silverman had once done about getting an AIDS test, in which Silverman joked about having unprotected sex in Hades, adding the number of times she had done so and joking that she did so in equal times from different positions because she was &#8220;kinda OCD.&#8221;
Silverman said, “There are a lot of problematic things looking back, but such is comedy. It’s not evergreen.”
“Right,” Hayes interjected. “So that’s my thing; it’s like you’ve always been such a — I don’t know — such a f***ing stupid word, ‘edgy.’ It’s always about the messenger of the joke; it’s never really about —so you can say on the Sarah Silverman program, you could do a joke about AIDS like that and people embrace it and laugh because it’s you saying it. So what do you think is the difference between you saying it and somebody else saying it and not getting away with it. Seems like you get away with a lot of stuff because you’re so f***ing funny, but some of it’s pretty dark.”
“I think it’s the intention behind it, like, this is a math term, but it’s kind of like the absolute power of the joke,” Silverman pontificated. “Like, especially back then I always said the opposite of what I thought and that was the joke, kinda. Hopefully the truth transcends that I don’t really feel this way, not to break it down in the least funny possible way, but it is also interesting too, because like, that comedy I did, you’re right, it was like, ‘Oh it’s OK because you know I don’t mean it.’ But then it also is kind of like, ‘We’re liberal, so we can say anything. We can say, you know, the words that are unsayable or whatever. You know I don’t mean it, so I can say it.’ There is kind of a liberal, like, douchiness about it, I think, in retrospect. I mean, I don’t know, it’s a weird balance.”
Arnett said, “I think you’re right; I was thinking about that the other day,  which is like, what’s been gone is things have gotten so serious because everybody who is not liberal is so serious and so dark and so real about their negativity or hate or racism, whatever it is, that it’s taken all of that away. You’re like, I don’t even want to joke about a lot of things that are rough or maybe pushing boundaries because you feel like, ‘I don’t want it to be taken the wrong way because there are so many people who mean it.’”
Silverman replied, “Yeah. There’s not enough distance, you know, it’s like so close that people go, ohh.”

Sarah Silverman: ‘We’re Liberal, So We Can Say Anything’

Comedian Sarah Silverman blasted cancel culture as &#8220;righteousness porn&#8221; and warned that such tactics could push people into hate groups.
Speaking on her podcast last week about her friend Christian Picciolini, who used to be a neo-Nazi, Silverman explained why he fell in with such people from an early age.
&#8220;Christian Picciolini, my friend, who was a neo-Nazi for years, since he was 14 to, you know, into his 20s, late 20s maybe, was the head of a neo-Nazi, whatever, KKK chapter where he lived,&#8221; Silverman said. &#8220;He has spent the last 30 years getting people out of hate groups. That&#8217;s what he does. But he went towards love. He was 14, he was smoking a joint, and an older kid took the joint out of his hand and threw it out and said, &#8216;You don&#8217;t need that stuff, man.'&#8221;
Silverman went on to explain how the person who discouraged Picciolini against drugs also drew him into a hate group, which offered him the sense of belonging he was looking for. The group &#8220;gave him him a place where he was accepted and cared for and loved,&#8221; Silverman continued. &#8220;And that was a hate group, a neo-Nazi group, where he found family, camaraderie, and a place to be when both of his parents worked all day.&#8221;
Silverman went on to claim that even young people who are drawn toward hate groups are looking for love. &#8220;Going towards love can be a hate group, it could be the drama club. But that&#8217;s all it is at its root,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s just going towards where the love is. And you&#8217;re going to find yourself doing it a lot, all through your life, and maybe wonder about it.&#8221;
Silverman then turned to &#8220;cancel culture,&#8221; and how it emboldens hate groups, saying, &#8220;In this cancel culture, and we all know what I&#8217;m talking about—whether you think there is one or there isn&#8217;t one or where you stand on it, and there&#8217;s a lot of gray matter there—but without a path to redemption, when you take someone, you found a tweet they wrote seven years ago or a thing that they said and you expose it and you say, &#8216;This person should be no more. Banish them forever.&#8217; They&#8217;re going to find some place where they are accepted. And it&#8217;s not going to be with progressives, which ironically means &#8216;to be changed; progress.'&#8221;
&#8220;If we don&#8217;t give these people a path to redemption, then they&#8217;re going to go where they are accepted, which is the motherf***ing dark side,&#8221; Silverman concluded. &#8220;I think there should be some kind of path—do we want people to be changed? Or do we want them to stay the same, to freeze in a moment we found on the internet from 12 years ago? And so we can point to ourselves as right and them as wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s righteousness porn,&#8221; Silverman added.

Sarah Silverman Slams Cancel Culture As ‘Righteousness Porn,’ Warns It Could Push People Into Hate Groups

The fissures have quickly begun to show in the progressive coalition as the sexual assault allegation against former Vice President Joe Biden heats up. While some powerful women have opted to just ignore the situation and endorse Joe Biden anyway, others are noticing the glaring hypocrisy.
On Wednesday, comedienne Sarah Silverman blasted Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) for standing by Joe Biden after previously calling on Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) to resign when the #MeToo movement put him in its crosshairs.
“But u called on ⁦[Al Franken]⁩ to resign w/out the ethics investigation HE asked for??” <a href="https://twitter.com/SarahKSilverman/status/1255612418610397186" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Silverman tweeted</a>.

Franken resigned from his seat in 2017 over a spate of #MeToo allegations that began when talk-show host Leeann Tweeden accused him of forcibly kissing her during a USO show rehearsal. Her allegation was backed by a photograph she shared of him mockingly groping her while she slept. Following her revelation, another seven women came forward with allegations against Franken of inappropriate touching or kissing. He denied all of them.
Sarah Silverman has previously said he was &#8220;bullied&#8221; into resigning for political reasons.
&#8220;I understand that I may have cognitive distortion, because I love him so much. But all I can say is, and he may not be excited about this, but he has no sexuality,&#8221; <a href="https://www.salon.com/2018/05/23/sarah-silverman-defends-al-franken-im-so-sad-that-he-got-bullied-into-resigning/">she said</a>. &#8220;I believe in my heart of heart of hearts he never copped a feel.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m so sad that he got bullied into resigning, because all he loved in this world was being a senator and representing the people of Minnesota. I&#8217;ve never met a more pure person,&#8221; she added. &#8220;This is a guy whose passion was serving people and making the world a better place. There&#8217;s a lot of baby-in-bathwater stuff, I think. We&#8217;ll just get it in the process.&#8221;
In March, Tara Reade claimed that then-Senator Joe Biden sexually assaulted her while she served as an aide in his Senate offices during the Clinton administration. She has since detailed her account in multiple interviews and filed a criminal complaint against the former vice president with the Washington, D.C., police department. A former neighbor of Reade and Reade’s brother have both publicly stated that Reade told them of the alleged assault in the 1990s. Recently surfaced evidence also suggests that Reade’s mother called into CNN’s Larry King in the 1990s to complain about a prominent senator with whom her daughter had “problems.”
On Wednesday, Sen. Gillibrand <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/politics/kirsten-gillibrand-joe-biden-support/index.html">endorsed Joe Biden</a>, arguing that media outlets have &#8220;investigated&#8221; Tara Reade&#8217;s claims.
&#8220;When we say believe women, it&#8217;s for this explicit intention of making sure there&#8217;s space for all women to come forward to speak their truth, to be heard. And in this allegation, that is what Tara Reade has done,&#8221; Gillibrand said. &#8220;She has come forward, she has spoken, and they have done an investigation in several outlets. Those investigations, Vice President Biden has called for himself. Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations and I support Vice President Biden.&#8221;

The following is satirical.
The nation is waiting with bated breath to discover which Hollywood nitwit is going to endorse which Socialist lowlife. All across America, voters are asking: If Tom Hanks supports Joe Biden and Scarlett Johansson supports Elizabeth Warren, will we vote for Donald Trump because of Hanks or because of Johannson?
Reports are spreading that large numbers of good looking genetic jackpots who pretend to be other people by convincingly reading lines off a page are not certain who to vote for, which leaves many Americans asking some serious questions, like “What’s for dinner?” and “Where in tarnation did I leave my glasses?” and that popular favorite, “While you’re up, would you mind getting me a beer?”
Which entertainer endorses whom makes a big difference, of course, to what sort of rallies candidates can hold.
For example, a dispute between rappers Favor Flav and Chuck D over whether to support Bernie or Biden has left many voters in suspense over which of the two blithering old white men will be able to dance around ridiculously to the most soul-deadening and repetitive music with the most illiterate lyrics. Whereas a divide between Dick Van Dyke and Sela Ward has left many voters wondering who are Dick Van Dyke and Sela Ward?
In the past, candidates have valued the endorsement of movie stars because the movie stars gave them money which the candidates valued because it was money. But because socialists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have to pretend not to like money until they have power and can acquire huge amounts of it while everyone else descends into poverty, they have instead valued movie stars for their celebrity presence. After all, nothing says socialism like being supported on stage by a grinning gazillionaire who hasn’t worked an eight-hour day since he was a rent boy on &#8220;Sunset Boulevard.&#8221;
Thus, the Democrat nomination hangs in the balance until some handsome clown endorses some decrepit tyrant and no one cares.
