Comedian George Lopez got booed off the stage at a charity event in Denver after making jokes about President Trump that fell flat.
Lopez then “apologized” for his lame jokes by insulting the audience with a race-baiting jab. The flap occurred last week at a posh charity gala to raise money for juvenile diabetes.
“Listen, it’s about the kids,” Lopez said (see video below). “I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America; it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”
Denver is an extremely liberal city, so you would’ve thought the anti-Trump jokes would have connected with the crowd. But like the NFL kneelers and most people in Hollywood, Lopez doesn’t realize there’s a time and a place for politics. And a charity event for children is not it.
Moreover, Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei — a Trump supporter who had donated $250,000 to the event — had asked Lopez to not joke about Trump.
