Comedian George Lopez Uses Diabetes Fundraiser To Bash Trump, Crowd QUICKLY Shuts Him Down
Actor and comedian George Lopez reportedly used a charity hosting position to repeatedly bash President Donald Trump at the Carousel Ball for the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.
A report by Page Six says Lopez was scheduled to be the emcee for the event, but was booed and later escorted out of the venue following a politically-laced rant.
We’re told the flap began when Trump backer and Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei donated $250,000 but requested that Lopez cool it with the anti-Trump jokes at the Carousel Ball.
An attendee at the event — where tables sold from $5,000 to $100,000 to benefit the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes — commented on a YouTube video that “George was asked nicely to stop making Trump jokes by a man in front row [Maffei] who just donated $250K.” But “George doesn’t, continues. Gets booed.”
After Maffei encouraged the comedian to stop, Lopez reportedly brushed off the request:
We’re told that Lopez responded to Maffei, “Thank you for changing my opinion on old white men, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about orange men.”
A few of Lopez’s jokes fell completely flat:
