Comedian David Cross says that those who walk out of his latest comedy show are “pro-Nazi” supporters of the President who want to “Make America great again.”
The man who made Tobias Fünke famous on “Arrested Development” told a Salt Lake City crowd this week that has violent and scatological fantasies about President Trump, but he is confident that those who react in disgust are “pro-Nazi.”
“There’ll be two to six people who didn’t do their homework, who don’t read this article, who just know me from TV,” he told the Salt Lake Tribune shortly before his “Oh Come On” show at Kingsbury Hall. “Or friends of friends got them tickets or whatever. And people leave because they’re pro-Trump or they’re pro-Nazi, and they don’t like hearing a comic make fun of Nazis. They want to make America great again. And by doing that, [they think] you have to elevate Nazis.”
“People leave. And that’s on them. I don’t give a s—,” he continued. “Do your f—ing homework. I’ve been doing this for a long time.”
The content that Mr. Cross referenced was then covered in detail by the same newspaper Thursday.
“[Mr. Cross’] surprisingly long set — which ran just 10 minutes short of two hours — included humor about abortion, Nazis, the Holocaust, terrorist bombings, AIDS and beating President Donald Trump to a bloody pulp and then urinating and defecating on him,” the newspaper reported.
Mr. Cross, who delivered material for “several hundred” people, played the same venue during his 2016 “Making America Great Again” show.
“I know I’m probably projecting a little bit, but there might be truth to it,” he told the newspaper. “I think they are very appreciative, that I come to them — I go to Salt Lake City, I make my way there — and I do the material that I do. And they’re happy to hear it.”
