Amy Schumer Blasts Donald Trump At Tampa Show, Gets Booed [VIDEO]
Amy Schumer angered some supporters of Donald Trump at her stand-up show in Tampa, Fla. this weekend.
Schumer's stand-up show in Tampa on Sunday featured her usual mix of sexual humor and Hollywood stories, but she also took the opportunity to express her feelings on Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.
The comedian stated that Trump was an "orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster," according to the Tampa Bay Times. Schumer admitted that she was a supporter of Trump's opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and was met with some boos from the crowd.
Schumer asked one of the Trump supporters to come up on stage. "Do you get worried at all with how impulsive he is," Schumer asked the supporter, "that he gets so fired up from 'Saturday Night Live' doing a skit on him ... do you worry he'll be impulsive and get us in a lot of f---ing trouble we can't get out of?"
There were more boos and even walk-outs as the bit continued, and Schumer took notice.
"Of course, we're in Florida, you're going to boo," she said. "I know you're here to laugh, but you choose how you're going to live your life, and it's just too important."
Addressing further hecklers, she advised, "Just so you know, from now on, if you yell out, you're gonna get thrown out."
Schumer noted that Trump's comments, like the now infamous "grab them by the p---y" line, were "really triggering," considering she too is a victim of sexual assault. She then asked to bring the house lights up and requested other sexual assault victims to stand.
Schumer has been open about her dislike of Trump and support of Clinton in the past. The comedian appeared on Watch What Happens Live shortly after the first presidential debate and spoke about the major differences between the two candidates - particularly with the bit about Trump blasting longtime rival Rosie O'Donnell again.
"I thought, 'Rosie's at home, cheersing the screen that she came up,' because it's just such a great way of showing how inhumane and erratic he can be - and I thought Hillary really kept her composure," she said. "What's great about Hillary is that she has more composure than the 'Real Housewives', so it's not gonna make for great reality TV but I think she'll run the nation well."
