That seems wise
I am legit a little bit surprised that a mob hasn’t at any point attacked Jordan Klepper. Dude has big steel balls. But this is different
Jordan is very tall, which helps him when individual people are sizing him up. but I believe he leaves when things get too hot.
I've heard him actually talk about that in interviews, that his height makes him a bit intimidating.
Also, he's clearly not talking to the craziest of the crazies most of the time, the people that are obviously dangerous. But who he talks to are bad enough.
Yeah he stuck with January 6th for a certain length of time and then said you know what I think it’s about time to get the fuck out of here. This seems like a similar situation.
Klepper has several security people around him at those rallies. It would be foolish not to
As should all media outlets. It's unsafe to share a space with Trump.
Honestly, good. Jon Stewart would have been a target regardless of what happened with Trump.
And unlike Trump, losing Jon would be a national tragedy.
Everyone is saying it’d be unsafe for tDS crew to be there, which may not be false.
But also what jokes can you tell at this point? It’s kind of a no win situation to tell some jokey news about the guy who almost got assassinated because then you are the “liberal media who doesn’t care” or whatever BS they’ll spin on you. Even if you turn around and show footage of Trump joking about Pelosi’s husband getting assaulted, it won’t matter to the people it needs to matter to because they aren’t watching tDS anyway. They’ll hear what trump’s group says and that’s it.
Oh no the “liberal media who doesn’t care” quick let’s all concern ourselves with the feelings of right wingers who were going to support Trump regardless and attack anyone else over anything real or fake.
What’s with the fucking pandering and worry over magats thoughts.
Here’s what I say to the failed opportunity:
I really hope it’s just because they didn’t have time to rewrite the jokes ;-)
Trump survived with only a small scratch. I feel like someone can say a joke or two since he is fine.
I mean, you know what they say about guys with one pierced ear.
