He's interviewed Gavin McInnis (founder of the Proud Boys), Steven Crowder and others who espouse dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric similar to that which influenced the DC riots. I've heard him call both of McInnis and Crowder 'comedians' and laugh off their extreme and often violent positions. It's irresponsible for someone with such a large voice.
we usually hear that as a defense when someone has a horrible belief or says horrible things outside of a standup stage.
"it's comedy. it's satire" ya right.
