Recently, on Sunday,  Amy Schumer was booed at her comedy show at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. It was Schumer’s remarks about presidential candidate Donald Trump that evoked this kind of reaction from her audience. With comments that mocked Trumo, such as, “orange, sexual-assaulting, fake- college-starting monster,” Schumer received negative feedback from some audience members, the majority being supporters of Trump.  During this rant, Schumer covered some political issues, and went over her views on some issues like gun control.

I feel like even though this was a comedy show, a place where politics aren’t usually discussed at, Schumer had every right to said what she did. Afterall, it’s her show. I think that she’s said far more offensive things before, as most stand up comedians do. So for the audience to boo her and walk out of the show was a bit ridiculous.

Right now, the election is a big topic that is being discussed, so it was inevitable that it would be brought up. Two days after the incident, Schumer delivered an open letter to Tampa, Florida. She read it aloud at her show in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night in New York City. “Dearest Tampa, I’m sorry you didn’t want me, a comedian who talks about what she believes in, to mention the biggest thing going on in our country right now.” Schumer said in the letter.

I think that even though the letter was written to be sarcastic and satirical, she shouldn’t have released it. The situation could have been blown over, but by releasing the letter she just added fuel to the fire.

I’m not really a fan of Amy Schumer, but I’m on her side in this issue. It’s her show, she can say whatever she wants to.
