Whitney Cummings stated she will not be a fan of being labeled a conservative by Fox Information — or being labeled something specifically in relation to politics — based mostly on her public feedback and jokes.
Cummings, throughout a Monday look on Invoice Maher’s “Membership Random” podcast, stated right-leaning shops learn an excessive amount of into her current remark about weapons on Maher’s different present, HBO’s “Actual Time.”
“I’ve all the time been a really liberal particular person, perhaps even a ‘libtard.’ However upon getting a child, you begin having ideas which have been characterised as conservative,” Cummings stated throughout her “Actual Time” look on June 6. “As quickly as I had a child, I used to be like ‘I want a gun. Now.’”
That joke was picked up quickly after by Fox Information anchor Jesse Watters, who lined it on his primetime present.
Cummings, on Monday, stated she would favor that didn’t occur every time she touches on political subjects.
“Fox Information is like ‘Whitney, now that she’s a mother, is a conservative.’ I used to be like, ‘ugh,’” Cummings stated.
Maher added that was a “excellent instance” of a clickbait headline, a subject the 2 comedians mentioned earlier within the podcast.
“They know the reality will not be what they write. But it surely’s a chance to leap in there and go ‘Whitney’s a Republican now!’” Maher stated.
A second later, the “2 Broke Ladies” co-creator stated neither the Democrat or Republican label works for her.
“I’m too left for the precise, I’m too proper for the left,” Cummings stated, which drew approval from Maher. “I’m used to being an outsider. I used to be a goth child.”
She added: “I’m not loyal, you recognize — I’m not even loyal to an NFL group. I used to be an Eagles fan, however when the Michael Vick factor occurred, I used to be like ‘Bye, bitch. I’m a Commanders fan now.’ As quickly as your habits is dangerous, I’m out.”
