Patti LuPone looked classy as ever as she sashayed down the red carpet at the Tony Awards last weekend, but her off-the-cuff answer to a query about the president was simply iconic.
A reporter for Variety asked a rather stupid question of the Broadway legend — why should Donald Trump go see her new show War Paint?
She quipped back that he shouldn’t. And in fact, if he tried to, she wouldn’t perform.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That prompted the eager reporter to ask a followup — why?
Her response has been liked over 67K times, and shared by nearly 30K people.

So which one of Mo Bros screenames will come on here to scream about “The Left” being big meanies?
I’m guessing, “AriestheRam” or “MediaGuy” he’s liked those two lately.
Mo Bro
Those who project their mental illness onto others should seek psychiatric help.
(nah, just kidding, no one wants you to get better—your lunacy of moral superiority is highly entertaining to everyone I share this site with, so . . . stay crazy).
MediaGuy
She is crude and rude, just what we expect from this type of has-been performer. Who ever she is.
DCguy
Awww, how adorable, Mo Bro comes in and lashes out and name calls. So……kind of exactly what you accuse everybody else of doing.
And you will notice I was right about one of the other screenames you would use. Thanks for not reading closely and proving me right.

@MediaGuy, Patti LuPone is starring on Broadway right now, and was nominated for a Best Actress in a Musical for her co-starring role in WAR PAINT. Before you get snarky about pop culture, or stars, try to have at least a little knowledge of the situation.
Sluggo2007
@CityBoy300 – MediaGuy’s next question will be, “What’s Broadway?”

Simply stated. BYE !

I have never wanted to see a Broadway show more in my life!

She speaks for us all
o.codone
She speaks for us all? The hell she does. Who is she anyway, the new Kathy Griffin with her shocking one-liners? Anything for a desperate sound bite. Patti will soon be as unemployed as Griffin if she keeps this up.
Besides that, the bit*ch looks like a mummy. Somebody tell her to shut up. Hell no this fossil don’t speak for me. MAGA.
Rick
MAGA? More like MAGGOT.
o.codone
Well, if you want to call childish names, maybe like “fa*ggot”.
DCguy
o.codone,
She has done something Trump hasn’t. She has become wealthier than she was when she started her career.
Trump started out inheriting a large piece of one of the biggest fortunes in America at the time. Since then he has gone bankrupt and is now in debt hundreds of millions to foreign lenders because American banks won’t lend to him anymore.
So if the right wing supposedly respects self made people, they should have far more respect for her than Trump. Oh, but wait, she’s a woman, so guess that’s out.

@DCguy
I think you watch too much Rachel Maddow.
You said, “She has done something Trump hasn’t. She has become wealthier than she was when she started her career.” However, Trump is wealthier than when he started in real estate. His dad loaned him $1 million and his dad’s entire company was worth $200 million at the time. It’s now worth several billion. I guess math is hard for liberals.
Then you state that Trump is “now in debt hundreds of millions”, well yeah. All major multi-billion businesses have millions of dollars of debt on their books, just look at Uber, Apple, Berkshire-Hathaway, JP Morgan-Chase, and many others. It’s smart to take on debt at this time since rates are low. Again, liberals aren’t good at math.

Speak for yourself asshole. This botch came to my restaurant a couple of times, lots of celebs used to come. Those who knew her said she was a raging bitch and very difficult to work with.
am_psi
So she’s refusing to give him something he’s apparently shown no interest in? I’m sure he’s devastated.
KaiserVonScheiss
Look how smug she is while she says it. Pretty much says it all. Leftist virtue signalling, nothing more. They just hate Trump for the sake of it. No different from the right-wingers who simply hated everything Obama did just because he was Obama.
CaliKyle
Leftist virtue, my ass. People loathe Trump for a variety of legitimate reasons – he’s shown himself to be consumed by pathological greed and self-interest, is the most ignorant and intellectually stunted president we’ve probably ever had, and he shamelessly exhibits a disdain for females and minorities. Additionally, he is a brazen compulsive liar. Right wingers loathed Obama first and foremost because they could not abide a black man as president. Yes, they may have disagreed with some of his policies as even I did as a lefty progressive – but their vitriol and tea party roots stem from pure racism. Therefore, there is no legitimate equating of the lefts anti trumpism and the rights anti Obamaism.
KaiserVonScheiss
No, not all of the dislike was because of racism. That’s just ridiculous. Some people, sure. But most right-wingers, that’s just nuts.
My state Rep is from India. Right-wingers elected a black man to the US senate in South Carolina. Sell a new narrative. Your old one about all right-wingers being racist is bullshit.
ChrisK
Wow. So voter suppression didn’t work that time huh. One black guy and all of a sudden you’re so progressive. It’s no different then saying you have black friends so you can’t be a racist.
Giuseppe
CaliKyle…mic drop, you tell ’em!!!
KaiserVonScheiss
@ChrisK
My black friends refused to come around after they saw all the swastikas. My house is even based on Albert Speer’s Volkshalle.
Wire dog
This woman does not speak for me. No don’t like him, wish he wasn’t my President. But respect for the office just like respect for the rank in the military. Ugly is Ugly.
Mo Bro
What’s rich is that Trump could not care less about another overrated actress’s opinion of him . . . but imagine this actress’s response if Trump stated, “I won’t go see her show because she’s a no-talent hack who lost her looks decades ago.” Her ego would be in shambles, and deservedly so.
OrchidIslander
I wonder what criteria you use to castigate Patti LuPone as “overrated?” If his continually tanking poll numbers are any indication, Trump seems way more deserving of the overrated tag. As far as him commenting on someone else’s looks, he really really shouldn’t.
Richard 55
Patti Lupone is disgusting. She looks disgusting and sounds disgusting.
What has she ever done for homosexual rights except give the impression of being tough? I would never call her an advocate.
Prax07
LOVE her so much for saying that.
And respect for Trump’s Presidency? I’ll show respect for that title when there’s someone worthy of respect with that title. Trump’s a pile of shit, I wouldn’t show respect to a dog turd, I won’t show that human turd one spec of it either.
mhoffman953
What’s wrong with her face?
Mo Bro
Too many surgeries on a 68-year-old face that desperately yearns for youth . . . and relativism.
OrchidIslander
The only way her response could have been more perfect is if she had sang it!
Sluggo2007
Good one!
DCguy
The right wing is panicking. Their responses are now playing the victim, crying, and lashing out.
Because remember, being a bigot, passing laws to take away 23 million peoples health care, passing laws to strip away any rights from lgbt people, attacking women’s rights, and taking away lunch subsidies for hungry children is all fine……but saying you don’t like Trump? Oh now THAT is a crime!
The right wing wants to harm people, and their only defense is to fake outrage/change the subject if anybody points it out or to cry that they are being picked on.
Mo Bro
Freud would’ve had a field day with the likes of you.
DCguy
1. You claimed you weren’t going to respond to me anymore. And you keep failing at that, the same way you did when you tried the same thing back when your screename was “BJ McFrisky”.
Secondly, notice how Mo Bro can’t defend against any of the statements so just tries to lash out with an attack hoping to start an argument or do anything else to change the subject.
So please, by all means, detail out where I was wrong if you can. If you can’t, then don’t bother, your sad trolling attempts are even weaker than when the Mormons sent their unsuspecting trolls in here to defend the anti-lgbt bills they were funding in Ca.
Or of course you can sign in as one of your other screenames and just repeat your name calling. That’s always an option too.
mhoffman953
@DCguy
LOL your responses are laughable.
You said the following: “The right wing is panicking” “The right wing wants to harm people”
But if you look at the left, they are the ones actually harming people. The radical left are burning down colleges because they disagree with a speaker, they’re shooting congressmen at baseball games, they’re hitting people in the face with bike locks, they’re shooting people on trains, they’re doing mock assassinations of the President. I don’t see the right doing that.
Then when you say, “passing laws to take away 23 million peoples health care” that is a false statement. The congressional office which scores these budget plans said that 23 million fewer people would be insured in years to come BUT that is due to the Obama tax penalties going away. The budget office said they believe 23 million young people will simply not buy insurance if they aren’t financially forced to by the big government, hence they’ll just cancel their own coverage NOT have their coverage “taken away” as you like to pretend.
Mo Bro
Jesus, Chris, I was merely commenting on how your mental illness is overflowing for all the world to see . . . as is further evidenced by your crying that I didn’t fulfill your needs in the form of boosting your ego through a comments board. As The Donald would say: Sad!
I implore you to use your perversely expensive Obamacare to get help. To not do so is a slap in his face (and as a good liberal you know that would be racist).
Mo Bro
“BJ McFrisky”???
For the name alone, that dude is my hero.
gary69mike
Start off by saying, I’m not a Trump fan but… that showed absolutely no class. She should have have smiled and walked away after his follow-up question.
Kieran
Can you imagine being married to that? She sounds delightful to be around.
Mo Bro
That would be genuinely suicide-inducing.
Like being married to Cher, Bette Midler, Madonna, or a hundred other venomous lefties who’ve allowed their political hatred to affect their lives and the lives of those around them.
