After Wanda Sykes faced an eruption of boos for criticizing President-elect Donald Trump in Boston Saturday, the comedian flipped off the audience and told them, “F— all y’all.”
The clash occurred during the 22nd annual Comics Come Home fundraiser, which benefits The Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care, at the TD Garden arena, according to the Boston Herald.
“I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president,” said Sykes during her set, a video of which is below. “He ain’t the first one. He’s just the first confirmed one.”
Within a matter of seconds, the crowd and Sykes turned on each other. “F— you, motherf—ers,” Sykes said as the crowd’s boos intensified. “F— all y’all. F— all y’all.”
Sykes proceeded to point to members of the audience. “F— you,” she said multiple times.
“How can you say he’s not racist?” she asked. “’Grab them by the p—y’? How can you say he’s not sexist? How can you say he’s not racist? How can you say he’s not homophobic?”
The Herald reported that Sykes commented on Trump about five minutes into her set and that she delivered non-political jokes after the jeers. According to the newspaper, Sykes flipped off the audience as she departed the stage amid another sea of boos. However, the audience cheered as a woman kissed and hugged Sykes while flashing a peace sign on stage.
Yesssss, Wanda! I saw her live about 2 months ago, she was pretty funny but I'm not surprised at this news because politics was one of the biggest topics she talked/joked about at my show. Though I guess our crowd was full of Hillary supporters because I never heard any boos.
edit: Just watched the video, asdufjdif at her IMMEDIATELY turning on the audience once the boos started And bye at the dramatic comments on both EW and YouTube going against her.
