Some call comedian/actor Wanda Sykes a funny, hardcore, no-bullshit liberal. She is—and she wants folks to vote. On the November 2017 Election Day, she tweeted:
Go VOTE!
Be like that dog, and stop us from drowning in this sea of stupidity and hate that’s coming from @realDonaldTrump and Republicans!
Here’s the referenced DoDo video:
(The Dodo video shows a little girl held back by her dog who gets in front of her again and again, to keep her from going into the deeper and dangerous water.)
And here’s the tweet via the ‘Official Wanda Sykes’ (@iamwandasykes).
That's one way to encourage folks to vote. Here’s a PSA to pass along, especially today on Election Day.
Sykes never holds back—especially when it comes to Trump. Another example of this was in November 2016 soon after Election Day. Via the Boston Herald, FOX Fox News tried to make Sykes look bad because she flipped off some folks during a comedy fundraiser. Instead of getting results, FOX caused liberals to only embrace the comedian more. (I never provide links to FOX—why would I want to send anyone to their site?) She is quoted saying:
“I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president,” Sykes told the crowd according to the Boston Herald. “He’s just the first confirmed one, that’s it.”
Sykes’ comments were met with loud boos, prompting the comedian to yell out, “F—k you, motherf---er, f—k all of y’all.”
She then began pointing at various audience members and said, “F—k you, you, you.”
Before exiting the stage, the Boston Herald reports a woman came out and hugged Sykes while holding a peace sign which elicited cheers from the audience.
Thank you, Wanda Sykes for your continuous outspoken political humor, as well as your acting, comedy and writing. Loving you.
