This weekend, Wanda Sykes found herself at the mercy of an irate crowd after criticizing President-elect Donald Trump, leading her to flip off the audience and exclaim, “Fuck all y’all.”
The Boston Herald reports the incident occurred at the 22nd annual Comics Come Home fundraiser, benefiting the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care at the TD Garden arena.

“I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president,” Sykes said during her routine. “He ain’t the first one. He’s just the first confirmed one.”
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.
The crowd erupted into boos, and Sykes began pointing at members of the audience, barking, “Fuck you, motherfuckers. Fuck all y’all. Fuck all y’all.”
“How can you say he’s not racist? ’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 Trump commentary happened about five minutes into the set, after which she delivered non-political jokes. She flipped off the audience again as she departed the stage amid yet more boos.
However, the crowd cheered after a woman kissed and hugged Sykes while flashing a peace sign. The crowd was evidently all over the road, as you can see below.

That’s rich! I love it when liberal Hollywood elites take their audience for granted and assume everyone will be as “enlightened” and “knowledgeable” as they think they are.

In Boston? I’m with her on this one, fuck em.

Wanda, Wanda, Wanda. You’re not funny. Maybe “stupid” but definitely not funny.
Retirement can’t be too far away, Wanda.

“I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a rac!st, sex!st, homophobic president,” Sykes said during her routine. “He ain’t the first one. He’s just the first confirmed one.”
A silly comment, much as I like Wanda. (I thought immediately of the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” where Larry David inadvertently acquires a “rac!st dog” and Wanda freaks out about it.)
Didn’t we have about a dozen presidents who were actual slave owners? I’m pretty sure they were “confirmed” rac!sts.
Sex!st? Surely every president up to and including that a-hole Woodrow Wilson counts as sex!st. Plus many since, especially JFK and Nixon.
Homophobic? Yeah, that fruitcake James Buchanan must be spinning in his grave!

This is what passes for a “celebrity” in America today. No really. How sad is that?
dah

I expect this actually .she’s a comedian they all say and do stuff that’s outrageous. Some do it better.George Carlin would’ve loved this election…it’s a comedy show..what were you expecting to happen?

Go outside you hateful bitch, put that thing you call a career in the dumpster and proceed home where you will be greeted by your broke-ass family members. That “career” has been dead for a long time. This mouth-off just ain’t funny. And you dissed your charity too. Very thoughtful of you. People wait their whole lives to be entertainers. You got the chance and you took a shit on it. You threw this opportunity away b/c you’re consumed with hate. So, fuck allyall, whatever allyall means, fuck it.

There are people who dont like to hear the truth.

Jesus F*ing Christ. Is everybody on Queerty a right wing Trumpite? I know every time there is a gay bashing story on Queerty everyone is calling the gay victim a liar while lining up to lick unwiped straight boy a-hole. But to lick Donald Trump’s hole followed by Mike Pense? Gross. Being gay just gets more depressing by the minute and it’s not even because of the gay-bashers.

@Tête Carrée: You know the saying; “an empty barrel makes the most noise”. The Trumpettes are very loud. They have very little substance so they have to be. But they are very definitely a minority here as they are in the gay community. And don’t forget, Trump’s election was an artifact of the electoral college system. Hillary got well over 1,000,000 more actual votes than Trump did.

@dwes09: Hey there, you liberal freak. Don’t be so sure of yourself that the Trump supporters are “definitely in a minority here”. But, here’s what you need to learn. There were 3 million ILLEGAL votes, and we know who they were for. So, actually, NO Mrs. Clinton did NOT win the popular vote after all.
Shadeaux
That was a meltdown? She just calmly cussed them out. Watch this: @Mediaguy F’K outta here. Trump didn’t win the popular vote and there weren’t 3million illegal votes. Y’all are so got damn stupid. SEE! NO MELTDOWN!
cholo
Sorry but she’s right.

I’m surprised there were so many Trump supporters at a charity event. After all Trump is only a fake philanthropist at best. He likes to crash charity events to make an appearance and then leave without donating a dime. Stands to reason most of his supporters are probably as shallow and selfish as he is. I wouldn’t think charity support would be high on their list of priorities. Besides, Wanda spoke the truth. If you don’t like it, as she said, “Fuck All Ya’ll”.
BTW from the looks of this sites comments lately it would seem that all of the 14% of LGBT Trumpbots have made this place home. Too bad for those with self-respect and a functioning brain.

@Dave084: Hey Dave. You’re making the same mistake the media made during the election, which is to assume that gays are all democrats and all endorse(d) Hillary. This election was different b/c gays, along with half the electorate were sick and tired of the out-of-touch political class and the stupefying failures they have brought about. There was a knee-jerk on election day and it’s about time you and the other stubborn and inflexible dyed-in-the-woool dems realized it. (or more accurately “died” in the wool). The dems failed because their politics are anachronistic and, just like 2008, people want change. Hillary represented status quo, not change. (finally, she didn’t win the popular vote after all b/c there were 3 million illegal votes, and you can figure out the rest. Stupid of them to go after illegal votes. People want fairness not back-room Arkansas deal making. This is the END of the Clinton era and all it represents. And, if we can suppress/eliminate the illegal votes it may be the end of the democrat party as well. Thank you Jesus !!).
