Jackie Mason: Pro-Trump Comedians ‘Fearful of Every Word We Say’

Legendary stand-up comic Jackie Mason contended that in the age of progressive activism seemingly targeting the right-wing, comedians are “fearful of every word we say” out of concern that comments can “somehow be connected to something that sounds conservative.”
Mason contended that there is a double standard between the way the entertainment industry approaches liberal comedians and those who espouse any conservative views, especially comedy figures who appear to support President Donald Trump.

“Roseanne Barr is thrown out immediately because she supports Trump,” Mason argued. “But if you are a leftist lowlife you can say or do whatever you want.”

Mason, however, did not have many kind words for Barr, taking issue with some of the comedian’s past support for the Occupy movement and for the 9/11 truther conspiracy in addition to numerous other controversial remarks and views. “She pretends she is a conservative because that is how they pay her on the show,” Mason claimed.
