Oh wow, a person or organization caved to pressure, that is super rare...

Your previous comment:

I see a headline, I dont know if it was a real boo, or a “boo” according to the article writer.

The article you didn't read along with the thing I just quoted that you apparently also didn't read:

Attendee Tynan Allen told the CBC that “it was just very apparent how uncomfortable everyone felt and how unacceptable the things he was talking about were.”

It sounds more like you don't want people to have found him offensive. But they clearly did.

You believe everything you read as long as it agrees with you, dont you? There is a news article(s), so they appologized, has happened literally thousands of times, and then there is a quote from a person claiming a thing, literally has happened millions of times. Show me the clip and that is actually a useful thing, artles are literally useless.

You believe everything you read as long as it agrees with you, dont you

Nope. Here's me admitting I was wrong about something earlier today:

And there are, I am sure, Rob Schneider routines on YouTube and I doubt he decided to only tell trans and antivax jokes on this occasion, so you're free to find out for yourself. I have a feeling you'll decide they aren't offensive no matter what they are though.

Incidentally, even Republicans find him too offensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMxbyf5I_GE

And again you are just believing what you are told and probably didnt get to the part where he literally broke their agreement...

And in what way do you think he broke their agreement?

Maybe you should listen to the video you linked and find out.

Oh I did, I just want to know exactly what you think happened.

They hired him to do clean comedy, and he did not.

Your next comment - "So you are saying that because they didnt like trans jokes then they are perfectly fine asking him to leave?!? See you are hypocritical!!!"

There is a difference between wanting content that is clean and okay for all audience, and hiring a comic that does jokes that you dont think are acceptable. I would be fine with my children going to any comic just as long as it was clean.

Your next comment - “So you are saying that because they didnt like trans jokes then they are perfectly fine asking him to leave?!? See you are hypocritical!!!”

Please do not lie and put words in my mouth. You already were wrong about me never admitting I was wrong (ironically never admitting you were wrong about that).

I never suggested he told trans jokes to Republicans, but you apparently aren't reading what I write very carefully since you think you know what I'm going to say anyway.

Oh gotcha, you were not able to come up with the second order thinking retort.

Lets go back a comment;

They hired him to do clean comedy and he broke that rule. So you just read a headline and believed it.

Why did you lie about what I was going to say?

When are you going to admit you're wrong about you literally suggesting that's not something I do?
