I hope there is a comedian out there that can help Jay to understand that, because he is clueless.

Perhaps that’s why because Jay thinks he’s still funny.

Because the other half is a cult of narrow-minded, short-sighted, self-centered, willfully ignorant, mean-spirited, callous, reactionary bigots who will gladly be led into fascism by the racist demagoguery of an obnoxiously self-obsessed malignant narcissist, the most prolific and blatant pathological liar American politics has ever seen, a willfully ignorant Dunning-Kruger basket case, a psychopath who has lied and cheated his way through every aspect of his life without remorse and completely devoid of empathy, a draft dodger, a convicted felon and an unregister sex offender.

And you played your part in normalizing this, Jay Leno, because all you ever cared about was being popular yourself.
