Clearly Trump supporters can be easily triggered, so we need to give them safe spaces

Amy Schumer was faced with booing and walkouts in Florida over the weekend after she made jokes about Donald Trump.

Around 200 people left her show at the Amalie Arena in Tampa after the controversial comic called the Republican candidate an “orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster”.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Schumer covered issues ranging from the election to gun control, an issue she’s spoken out about before following the shooting that took place at a screening of her film Trainwreck in 2015.

At one point in the show, Schumer asked a Trump supporter, “preferably one with sleeves”, to come onstage and explain why they were picking him. A local man got up and explained the decision was about not liking Clinton.

“Do you get worried at all with how impulsive he is?” she reportedly said to him. “Do you worry he’ll be impulsive and get us in a lot of ####ing trouble we can’t get out of?”


As audience members booed, Schumer responded: “Of course, we’re in Florida, you’re going to boo. I know you’re here to laugh, but you choose how you’re going to live your life, and it’s just too important. Just so you know, from now on, if you yell out, you’re gonna get thrown out.”
