UPDATED w/ VIDEO: Wanda Sykes booed off stage after anti-Trump rant, gives audience middle finger November 13, 2016

Wow!  This just happened in Boston:

Famed comedian Wanda Sykes gave the TD Garden crowd the middle finger as she walked off the stage last night after her rant about President-elect Donald Trump was met by a chorus of boos from some of the thousands who turned out for the 22nd annual Comics Come Home fundraiser.

Sykes, who was the fifth comic to take the stage at the benefit for The Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care, was roundly booed by many of those in attendance after the lesbian comic blasted the newly elected president for being a racist and a homophobe.

“I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president,” she said.

Although other comics, including Worcester native Denis Leary, waded into politics during their sets — Danvers’ own Nick DiPaolo was booed during his — it seemed the crowd reacted far more harshly to Sykes’ take on Trump and the California comedian was quick to fire back.

“(Expletive) you, (expletive) you, (expletive) you,” Sykes said to the audience members who were booing her set at the country’s longest-running comedy fundraiser.

Apparently, she tried to get off politics, but the audience kept booing.  Eventually, she flipped the audience off and walked off stage. Classy.

Newsflash: people are getting sick and tired of having their values mocked.  And I love it that it happened in Massachusetts, not in a typically red state.

I know people don’t agree with him but we have to RESPECT HIM!!! He hasn’t even gotten the change to “screw up” and they label him as soooooo many freaking things.
