Whitney Cummings: ‘The Left Became the Party of Censorship’
Whitney Cummings wants us to know she has not been red-pilled.
The comedienne made that official on her latest podcast episode, the first since she roasted key Democrats on CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage.
Bottom of Form
She doesn’t label her political views, but she also agrees with the Democratic Party’s core tenets, as she describes them.
Racism? Bad
Respect women? Good
Free speech? Yes, please
What she didn’t officially say but implied repeatedly? The modern Democratic Party no longer lives up to that branding.
“If you love your party, you have to be able to criticize it. I don’t really take sides … I always thought of myself as a pretty liberal person. I don’t think the Left is as liberal as it used to be. The Left became the party of censorship. ‘My body, my choice,’ but you have to take this vaccine. And, ‘my body, my choice,’ the pro-choice party, but you don’t have a choice in your candidate,” she said, repeating a line from her CNN roast.
“I’m not an expert on politics … but I am an expert on hypocrisy. I was raised by hypocrites. I’ve dated hypocrites. I know hypocrisy when I see it,” she said about her CNN segment. “So for me, I didn’t think I was being political. I was just pointing out hypocrisies across the board.”
Why not roast Donald Trump during her CNN appearance? That would be “hacky.”
“That’s home-court advantage,” she cracked about CNN’s liberal bias. “There’s nothing risky or dangerous about that. It bothers me when comics say stuff that’s self-righteous and they get applause when they’re being fake-brave,” she added. “If I was gonna roast Trump, I’d have to do that on Fox News.”
“And I already roasted Trump,” she said, alluding to the 2011 Trump roast on Comedy Central. (warning: Adult language)
She said the typical political sides no longer matter as they once did.
“It’s now, to me, just Crazy vs. Sane,” she said.
Cummings circled back to the Democratic Party, ticking off values with which she agreed.
“This is the party of the artist, the brave people, the comedians, the thinkers. That’s what the Democrats were. I’m proud that I fell for that,” she said.
She segued to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign against Donald Trump. Here, Cummings took off the gloves.
“[Harris] could not figure out how to say something that I could understand,” she said, laughing. “When I watched Kamala talk … I don’t know what she believes.”
“Hold on, this person that makes absolutely no sense, forget gender, and has such low approval ratings and is not effective or powerful, and she can’t even be good at being a puppet,” she said.
“It’s so embarrassing on so many levels. Are you gonna tell me you guys are gonna push for a black woman, the lowest rated VP … to be the president, so our worst president is gonna be a black woman? How is that good for women or black people?” she asked, ignoring those who said Harris ran a “flawless” campaign.
Later, Cummings shared how she made a critical comment about then-Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz’s frequent China trips on social media before taking it down.
“I don’t want controversy. I don’t like it. I don’t like not knowing if people are mad at me or if I’m wrong,” she said of the comments. The feedback? Yes, Walz’s ties to China were, indeed, weird.
That woke her up. It also may explain why she said what she said on CNN.
“The only thing worse than censorship is self censorship,” “For comics to complain about censorship, myself included, and then to self censor? Whoa, dude. I’m such a hypocrite. This is wild. I can’t do this anymore, because people are going to go out of their way to intentionally misunderstand and intentionally be offended, and those people are not my people. And that’s fine.”
