defanged comedy. you are talking about the caravan a couple of minutes ago. i would ve loved to have jokes about the caravans, jokes about north korea, jokes about president macron, this is a smart sophisticated washington crowd and black tie and they are listening to this woman using the f word and talking about how her private parts require a lot more yarn than those pink hats on the trump parade. this is sophisticated wit for the smartest people in washington. this is the death of comedy because there is nothing the left can make honest jokes about except to mock republicans as liars or uptight christian fundamentalists hung up on abortion. tucker: it was funny in the same way that the new york op-ed is funny. if i funny, you mean within the very narrow boundaries of what s
that happened. this marks the one-year anniversary of kathy griffin, the single most unhappy person in america posing with the separate head of donald trump. today, she went on the view, of course, and revoked her apology, assuming that s possible for that, and took additional shots. here s part of what she said. i can t believe it s been a year. i know. a year this month since that picture was released. right. what a year it s been. by the way, i take the apology back. to don jr. and eric, as i call them, eddie munster and date rape. tucker: she s a lot of fun. mark steyn joins us tonight. you have this remarkable ability to stand back and see the big picture here. what are we seeing in these two appearances? i think actually we are looking at the death of comedy. to go to that abortion joke,
who can t do anything but say the f word it s a semi-state occasion that the president is somehow rejecting centuries of e doesn t show up for. what do you think. is it a night of serious, sharp political comedy or its dull, turgid people mouthing off? tucker: you are right. totally willing to slay a sacred cow. if you are brave, i don t know if you re make a joke about some thing that will offend people you live near. that will never happen. absolutely. tucker: mark steyn, thank you. thank nice to see you. a lovely week on on msnbc. a guest explained that if mike pence were ever to become president, he would start sending people to concentration camps start sending gay people to concentration camps. we ll get get a response of up.
word and yet it is given the status of a sort of semi-state occasioned that the president is somehow rejecting centuries of tradition if he doesn t show up for. which is that? is it a night of serious, sharp political comedy or is it just frankly dull, turgid people mouthing off? tucker: totally unwilling to slay a single sacred cow. if you arera brave, make a joke about something who will offend people you live near. mark steyn, great to see you. over the weekend on msnbc, which certainly you were watching, a guest explained that if mike pence were ever to become president, he would start sending gay people to concentration camps. not jokingly come by the way. we ll get a response to that up next.
