Bill Burr is one of the most popular comics working in the country today. He certainly has no issue telling people exactly how he feels about things. So many MAGA Republicans may have believed that he is on their side.
Recently, Burr attended a UFC event with his wife. UFC events have become something of a safe space for Donald Trump as he often receives cheers at these events and boos at others. As Trump entered the arena to adulation, something else was seen on camera. Burr's wife, Nia, flipped the former President off with both hands.
Predictably, Trump fans were apoplectic, attacking both the comedian and his wife. Burr was asked about the incident during an appearance on Rich Eisen's show Monday morning.
"Those Trump guys, they’re always going, ‘Ah, ya snowflakes, F your feelings,’ and all of that,” the comic said. “And then you make fun of Trump and they’re like, ‘Oh my God, it’s so disrespectful!’ You’re saying, ‘F Joe Biden!’ It’s like, you can’t have it both ways!"
After Eisen asked how Burr's wife's hands were, he replied:
"They're fantastic. I love my wife, you know where you stand with her. The guy walked in the arena. Everybody cheered. She gave him the finger. Nobody got arrested. That’s why this country’s great. Everybody expressed themselves. Can we all be adults? I mean, I don’t know about you, but I came here to go to the fights. I didn’t know I was going to the Republican National Convention."
