A good comedian has comebacks to negative reactions. Schumers threat was representative of liberal censorship and intolerance.
Just shows her insecurity and ignorance. Typical of leftists, silence the opposition but claim to be tolerant. She never was funny and only got where she is because she has a rauchy senator for an uncle.
The economy is so bad that people are popping an average of $135 to see Amy Schumer as she tours the country to sold out venues. That 1-2% of the audience walks out generates a buzz and probably helps sell out the next venue. That 98-99% of the audience stays and applauds suggests they are unlikely Trump voters.
I would not read too much into it, one way or another.
It suggests they didn't want to waste $135 and know what her comedy is about. If it was free, people are more inclined to walk, at $135 people stay. BUT the main point is, they are fans of hers and it has little to do with which candidate her fans support imo.
She's the left's equivalent of Larry the Cable Guy; just not as funny. Tells lots of crude jokes, makes lots of money.
What is dumb is that people bought tickets...with no clue of her politics of the facts that she makes that a major part of her show.
I haven't heard much of her comedy the last year. When I did, spots limited to ~15 minutes, I didn't notice much political. When did she become political in her comedy? When Trump started running?
I wouldn't have gone to her show in the first place, I personally think her jokes can be pretty disgusting and don't find her funny. But, I watched the video and I barely heard any booing at all. The vast majority of people at that show are liberal, and that shouldn't be too surprising. So if 200 people left, that's roughly 1% walked out if the show was sold out...
A liberal comedian said outrageous things about a right wing politician, and people are shocked? Has no one turned on Comedy Central in the last 30 years?
Can't imagine going on a stage at a comedy show, to defend anyone.
I historically avoid large crowds, whenever possible. Certainly not going to shell out $ hundreds to be in a crowded arena. I have no interest paying $ hundreds to listen to any entertainer spout their politics, regardless of ideology. It's obvious these headliners have no trouble selling out without our patronage.
Amy Schumer was daring if there was any Trump supporter who was willing to defend him... so this guy who is not really a Trump supporter but anti Hillary voter as he said on the radio, went on stage as he was done paying to hear jokes when she was bashing Trump. Not with jokes but a political rant!
I think what the man did was great as he paid so much money to hear jokes but not to hear a political rant that had nothing to do with comedy.
I agree with people who say not to buy tickets as I would never do but having said that nobody expected a political rant. They seem to expect some negative jokes about him but not this.
Whatever the percentage is, I applaud people for walking out if you don't agree. Silent protesting is what they did and they show character.
I doubt if they were all Trump supporters as most Trump supporters know better and not to pay a dime for her show.
I know who this comedian is but had no clue that she is related to Chuck Schumer. Thanks for informing me of that but I would not google this comedian as I have nothing that I like about her and only posted this since I heard on the local station the interview with the man who got on stage.
I got Amy Schumer's number when I watched the overhyped movie, "Trainwreck". I enjoyed it, because I liked a few of the performances (like Lebron James, and John Cena, naked)but if you saw it, you know what you are getting with her. What you are getting is just another bitter angry liberal performer who is out of touch with mainstream America.
Which begs the question - Schumer has made no secret of how she feels about Trump. Why would a Trump supporter buy a ticket to see her if they would be that offended when she makes fun of him????
Talk about low information...
I know who Ted Nugent is. If I bought a ticket to see him, and then got offended by his political rants - that would be on ME for being dumb, not on him for being disagreeable.
Nugent fans, even Conservative ones, would not expect Uncle Ted to do a concert laden with political rants.
They expect him to play rock and roll.....which he does.
Maybe the people who went to see Amy Schumer expected her to do her self deprecating "look what a **** I am" routine laden with jokes about her vagina instead of a political attack on Trump.
People on both sides are sick of this election, sick of the 24/7 media hype.
Maybe they just wanted to escape the BS for a couple hours with her show?

Used to be Jeaneane Garofalo was the angry not-funny SJW comedian except she is at least intelligent.
Bill Maher is fun to watch lately, he's so freaked out over Trump its actually kind of funny. I liked him better as a libertarian then he went full blown elitist lefty.
