Top-Selling Comedian Goes Silent After Being Exposed as MAGA

[hookaleft]

Nate Bargatze has declined to make any public statement about his presence as a guest at Trump’s 80th birthday party.

America’s top-selling comedian has nothing to say after he was caught on camera grinning with MAGA royalty at the White House.

While a source close to Bargatze insisted that the comedy star attended Donald Trump’s 80th birthday event because UFC is his “favorite sport,” making his appearance “not political,” his silence as fans flood his social media profiles with messages of disappointment appears to some as confirmation of his support for MAGA.

The Daily Beast asked Bargatze’s representative directly whether the comedian had any statement to make about either his decision to attend the event or the slur hurled at former first lady Michelle Obama by one of the fighters. Bargatze’s rep did not respond to our request for comment.

1. If Trump's involved, it's political.

Be warned: the orange doesn't wash off.

2. Who?

[displacedvermoter]

3. Never heard of him...

[Quiet Em]

5. me either.

[displacedvermoter]

6. Hard to get too indignant since don't know him

though if MMA is his favorite sport could probably be MAGA and most certainly an asshole...

[AStern]

7. Same

4. Cheap way to get publicity

[City Lights]

8. "Top-selling?"

I must really be out of the loop. Never heard of him. ¯_(ツ _/¯

9. He's hoping to replace Stephen Colbert. nt

[Torchlight]

10. No doubt he'll rest on the "I need more info before responding" crutch

Feigning ignorance of the obvious to hedge the bet is a close ally of the shallow mind.

11. You simply can't go to that event, on the WH lawn, take pics with whomever

and still claim to not be political. That event was the easiest thing to avoid. There's this thing called "the internet" where you could have read up on all the other "stars" that opted out of attending due to the aforementioned politics.

Idiot.

on edit: AND then not say anything at all when Dumbchudfuck fighter dude calls Michelle Obama "a man" at the very event you attended.

15. Normally I'd expect "I have no idea how I got to this event" wasn't a credible excuse

but a lot of the current inner circle seems demented, drunk, or otherwise non compos mentis

12. I think I saw him once on SNL

when I was wondering who the hell he was.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. He is the number 1 male comedian right now. He bills

himself as a conservative family man - the clean comedian.

I've seen several of his shows abd he was funny as the dumb everyman


He won't seem so funny anymore. This could hurt him.

14. No one should be shocked.

Bargatze is clearly a conservative - it's one of the reasons his humor is so apolitical. It mainly consists of him telling stories of how dumb he is.

Which checks out - his favorite sport is UFC.
