If there is one thing Democrats hate, it’s being the butt of jokes.
But there was no helping it this time.
And one joke about Michelle Obama had these Fox News stars rolling in the aisle.
Comedian brings down the house at Fox News awards ceremony
Comedian Jimmy Failla performed a set during the Fox Nation 2024 Patriot Awards.
In his set, Failla skewered California Governor Gavin Newsom, joking, “I was just doing stand up in California, and the language has changed out there. You know, in California, you can’t call somebody a loser anymore. You have to call them Governor Newsom.”
Failla also cracked a joke about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
“Think about this. Donald Trump is the only person in history to get shot on a job interview and still take the gig,” Failla jested. “Yo if you’re applying to Arby’s and you got shot in the ear, you’d be like, I wonder if Taco Bell is hiring, you know?”
Failla also mocked Trump’s nemesis Liz Cheney and the time her father Dick shot a hunting companion in the face.
“They called him every name you could think of. They impeached him. They indicted him. Do you remember the last weekend of the election? They claimed that he tried to get Liz Cheney assassinated. That was absurd. And everybody knows if he really wanted a rifle pointed at Liz Cheney’s face, he would have sent her hunting with her dad,” Failla exclaimed.
But the joke that brought down the house and received the biggest laugh was Failla’s bit about Michelle Obama really being a man.
Failla said Donald Trump won “higher support with black voters since Gerald Ford.”
Failla then moved on to the punch line, saying, “Not– to be fair. Not as popular with black men as Barack Obama. Obama was so popular with black men, he married one. And. Stop it. Stop it.”
As the crowd roared Failla explained he was just telling a joke based on a rumor started by legendary comedian and late-night host Joan Rivers, widely considered the greatest female comic who ever lived.
“They’re just jokes. That’s not. It’s just a joke. The late, great Joan Rivers started that rumor, and that’s a joke about that. But if the joke offended you, you can email me at Sean Hannity. It’s fine. Okay,” Failla stated.
Rivers started the rumor in 2014 when she officiated a homosexual wedding.
A photographer asked Rivers if America would ever have a homosexual President.
“We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down,” Rivers replied before deadpanning that Michelle Obama was really born a man. “You know Michelle (Obama) is a trans.”
The photographer asked for a further explanation.
“A transgender. We all know it,” Rivers replied.
When asked for a comment, Rivers decried political correctness.
“I think it’s a compliment. She’s so attractive, tall, with a beautiful body, great face, does great makeup. Take a look and go back to La Cage Au Follies (sic). The most gorgeous women are transgender. Stop it already . . . and if you want to talk about ‘politically correct,’ I think this is a ‘politically incorrect’ attack on me because I’m old, Jewish, a woman and a ‘hetty’ – a heteosexual . . . and I plan to sue the reporter who, when he turned off his camera, tried to touch me inappropriately on the a** – luckily he hit my ankle. Read the book . . . if you think that’s silly, wait to (sic) you see what I say about FDR and Eleanor!” Rivers wrote.
