It’s not even Halloween and this comic gets Booed off the stage in Denver.
From the Page Six web site;
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.
We’re 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 doesn’t, continues. Gets booed.”
He used to be funny, now this twerp is lame! Apparently he can’t read his audiences. What a punk!
We’re told that Lopez responded to Maffei, “Thank you for changing my opinion on old white men, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about orange men.”
Trying to recover and sensing the audience turn, Lopez said, “Listen, it’s about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America — it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”
White privilege? You mean the money and fame he has acquired in an ONLY WHITE and MALE industry. (Sarc) This comment by him is nothing short of demeaning and patronizing. He should had the finger at that point…
We’re told Lopez also told a joke about Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico, saying, “I guess you can get some Mexicans to do it cheaper and they wouldn’t crush the tunnels underneath.”
When the audience did not respond well, he quipped, “Are you El Chapo people?” in reference to the drug kingpin who has used tunnels to evade authorities.
— Maybe his material would kill in Los Angeles.
Lopez then announced a video segment — but he did not return to the stage, and a local newscaster took over the hosting duties.
TV host Chris Parente posted on Twitter, “big controversy: host of HUGE charity #CarouselBall, @georgelopez, makes political comments about Trump, drops f-bomb and is escorted out.” But a source close to the comedian insisted to Page Six that Lopez’s segment was “only supposed to be four minutes,” even though he was listed as the night’s emcee.
Lenny Kravitz performed at the gala, which raised $1.65 million.
At least Lenny kept his damn mouth shut and did his job.
Some other comments he has reportedly said:
George Lopez has a message for President Trump: “Deport the police.”
The comedian wrote on Instagram, “The Trump administration is deporting Latinos to make the streets safer… You wanna make the streets safer deport the police.”
He added, “This is not an indictment of all Law Enforcement, some still just beat you.”
It’s great that another Hollywood celebrity uses their privilege to dump on the police. This ALL started in the 8 years of Obama. Hate the police. Don’t trust the police. This all stems from that asshole.
After the message went up, Lopez faced backlash and has since made his account private.
Some fans felt his statement on Friday was “irresponsible” and suggested Lopez “stick to comedy.”
“This is a very irresponsible comment bro. You have really disappointed me bro, I thought you were better than that,” one commenter wrote, according to Breitbart.
Lopez is becoming a “has been”, although, he has an deal with Carnival Cruise Line to use his name for the comedy shows on their boats. Just an FYI!
