I guessed “Victoria Jackson” but almost 2nd-guessed myself.* She almost sounds like she’s channeling a weepy Sally Struthers from a charity advertisement (which Jackson herself parodied on SNL at one point).
*My 2nd guess was Rob Schneider, just because.

“I thought this was the Bible Belt.”
As if that’s some sort of jurisdictional boundary. What an ass.

How did I know it would be Victoria before I even finished the headline?

Whatever else Miller says or does, I don’t imagine this coming from him. Whereas I could see Schneider doing it just to get off on being a pantload.

Victoria Jackson is known to be a hot steaming bag of GQP/Nazi shit, thanks for reminding us Victoria.

Man, I remember when he used to be both liberal and funny. I wonder what changed him, though I can’t be arsed to bother trying to find out.

There’s really a ton of former SNL comedians/writers who suck as people (ahem…Jim Belushi), but when it comes to conservative bullshit crazypants, Jackson’s at the top of the list, IMHO.

I didn’t think it would come to this, but my position has shifted and I now firmly believe Weird Al was right for completely spacing her birthday dinner reservation with her parents and that hideous dress in UHF. The world deserves more Conan the Librarian and less Teri.

My friends and I used to say that a democrat was a republican who hadn’t made any money yet, and a republican was a democrat who hadn’t had to deal with the police yet.

I know that’s a popular aphorism, but I am personally at least one data point that both of those statements are incorrect.

All I really remember about her is a vague sense there was something awful about her.

It’s amazing how quickly - and shamelessly - American conservatives went from being upset at the left for “cancel culture” and being censorious (without any real evidence) to straight-up banning (and burning) books, writers and whole subjects of study. It’s almost as if their objections were disingenuous and based heavily on projection!
Also, wtf is up with her reading the “Communist party goals” list as if it’s some sort of evidence, when it’s clearly not anything actually written and released by the party itself. Can I just put together a list of goals for her? 1) Embarrass myself in public by acting like a whiny fascist… Oh no, she’s already achieved goal number one!

And what’s even worse is the anti “woke” left leaning people who complained about the illiberalism of “cancel culture” who are completely silent regarding book banning.

Yeah, I’ve known she’s been this way for awhile…
It was on the internet - it must be true!
That and things like that have long been used to demonize the left. They just make shit up.
