The Los Angeles Times conducted a fawning interview with irascible Ms. Barr
You’re not kidding. Greg Braxton, the writer of the LAT article (credited as the outlet’s “Senior Writer, Culture and Representation”), really embarrasses himself with this combination celebrity puff piece/apologia for a bigot.

Reached for comment, representatives for God issued the statement “Our Client, God, is not affiliated with Ms. Barr in any way, shape, or form.”
Representatives for Satan said “While Satan does appreciate the vigor with which she spreads hatred and bigotry, He had nothing to do with the cancellation of her show. She fucked around and found out, and that’s all on her.”

James 2:19 “You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.”
