[PAGESIX] Comic George Lopez was booed off stage at a gala for juvenile diabetes in Denver last week, over an anti-Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... routine that fell flat with the crowd.
We’re told the flap began when Trump backer and Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei donated $250,000 but requested that Lopez cool it with the anti-Trump jokes at the Carousel Ball.
An attendee at the event ‐ where tables sold from $5,000 to $100,000 to benefit the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes ‐ commented on a YouTube video that "George was asked nicely to stop making Trump jokes by a man in front row [Maffei] who just donated $250K." But "George doesn’t, continues. Gets booed."
We’re told that Lopez responded to Maffei, "Thank you for changing my opinion on old white men, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about orange men."
Trying to recover and sensing the audience turn, Lopez said, "Listen, it’s about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America ‐ it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege."
We’re told Lopez also told a joke about Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico, saying, "I guess you can get some Mexicans to do it cheaper and they wouldn’t crush the tunnels underneath."
When the audience did not respond well, he quipped, "Are you El Chapo people?" in reference to the drug kingpin who has used tunnels to evade authorities.
Lopez then announced a video segment ‐ but he did not return to the stage, and a local newscaster took over the hosting duties.
TV host Chris Parente posted on Twitter, "big controversy: host of HUGE charity #CarouselBall, @georgelopez, makes political comments about Trump, drops f-bomb and is escorted out." But a source close to the comedian insisted to Page Six that Lopez’s segment was "only supposed to be four minutes," even though he was listed as the night’s emcee.
Lenny Kravitz performed at the gala, which raised $1.65 million.

George Lopez has been accused of ripping off other 'comedians' for their jokes. Suck it, asshole - your downward slide continues.

If comedians hadn't given Obama a pass for 8 years folks might tolerate this crap now. If the jokes were 'fair' which they rarely are since they are generally based on straw men or out and out misinformation.
[FoxNews] With his tough talk and hardline stances on Iran and North Korea, President Donald Trump is damaging America's credibility abroad – and could provoke a nuclear-arms race in East Asia, Hillary Clinton says.
Trump's recent threat to decertify the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, "makes us look foolish and small and plays right into Iranian hands," Clinton said last week.
"That is bad not just on the merits for this particular situation, but it sends a message across the globe that America's word is not good," said Clinton, who spoke in advance of Trump's announcement Friday that he wants Congress and the other nations that negotiated the deal to toughen the requirements for Iran.
"This particular president is, I think, upending the kind of trust and credibility of the United States' position and negotiation that is imperative to maintain."
For his part, Trump says that Clinton, as secretary of state under former President Barack Obama, helped negotiate a "terrible" deal with Iran.
Getting tough on Iran is the right approach, the president said.
"We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror and the very real threat of Iran's nuclear breakout," Trump said Friday, according to the Washington Times. "Iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal."
Clinton also denounced Trump's bellicose language toward North Korea, saying his verbal aggression has rattled U.S. allies.
"We will now have an arms race ‐ a nuclear arms race in East Asia," Clinton predicted. "We will have the Japanese, who understandably are worried with missiles flying over them as the North Koreans have done, that they can't count on America."
Clinton stressed that a diplomatic solution was preferred, and suggested the inflammatory rhetoric played into Kim Jung Un's hands. She bemoaned Trump's public undercutting of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson when he tweeted "Save your energy, Rex" after the nation's top diplomat had suggested negotiations.
"Diplomacy, preventing war, creating some deterrents is slow, hard-going, difficult work," said Clinton, who declined to answer when asked whether Tillerson should resign. "And you can't have impulsive people or ideological people who basically say, 'Well, we're done with you.'"

Trump on Sept. 21 signed an executive order calling for a new round of economic sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
The president said the actions were aimed at "a complete denuclearization of North Korea," the Washington Times reported.
"North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile development is a grave threat to peace and security in our world," Trump said. "It is unacceptable that others financially support this criminal rogue regime."
Clinton, who recently released a book that recounts her election defeat to Trump, has been an aggressive critic of the president.
In an interview with Britain's BBC on Friday, Clinton called Trump a "sexual assaulter."
Clinton made the comments when asked about the allegations of sexual assault made against Democratic mega-donor and Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
"This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere, whether it's in entertainment, politics," Clinton said. "After all, we have someone admitting to being a sexual assaulter in the Oval Office."
In the same interview, Clinton referred to the sexual transgressions of her husband – former President Bill Clinton – as being "clearly in the past," Fox News reported.
Clinton's comments on Iran and North Korea were scheduled to air Sunday on CNN. The White House did not immediately return a request to respond to her remarks.

Yeah. We should have been nicer to them. Like you were with Libya.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Late-night talk show host and frequent President Trump critic Jimmy Kimmel had a few choice words for the president’s oldest son Friday, calling Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... Jr. an "imbecile" who does little more than tweeting.
In an interview aired Friday on "Good Morning America," Mr. Kimmel addressed Mr. Trump Jr.’s recent attacks against him for not addressing the Harvey Weinstein scandal on his show sooner. The first son criticized Mr. Kimmel, who has spoken out on his show about controversial topics like gun control and health care, for not addressing the numerous sexual harassment allegations against the disgraced Hollywood mogul immediately after the news initially broke.
"He’s an idiot, let’s just start with that," Mr. Kimmel fired back during his interview. "This is an imbecile whose job seems to be tweeting as far as I can tell."
"Harvey Weinstein is ... not a friend of mine," the late-night host explained. "I’m not in the movie business. And I’ll add that story came out, like, I think moments before we went to tape on Thursday, and we didn’t have a show on Friday."
Mr. Kimmel also said he wouldn’t mind hosting the president on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" so he could take a shot at changing the president’s mind on a few things.
"Absolutely, I have a lot of questions for Donald Trump," Mr. Kimmel told ABC News’ Amy Robach after she asked if he’d host the president on his show.
"I would guess that he’s not planning to visit me anytime soon," Mr. Kimmel admitted.
"Maybe this is crazy, but I feel like I could turn him around on a couple of things," he said. "I think he needs to be surrounded by better people. ... I just think he’s changed positions so frequently."
"I want to know what happened to the Donald Trump ... who was a Democrat?" he added.

Trump will rip Kimmel a new asshole in the upcoming weeks on Twitter, the best platform for opposing these lefty douchebags. Kimmel seems unaware of his success at the NFL's 'social justice' protests; let him suffer the consequences.

Kimmel doesn't have anyone watching him who would boycott him. More than that, Kimmel might be in the crosshairs of this Weinstein scandal himself when everything collapses. He did some Comedy Central Roasts, I wonder if he ever referenced Harvey in them.

Local affiliates may find other alternatives that may bring better ad revenue than the network offered default. If the network demands the air time, anti-trust investigation needs to follow.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Hillary Clinton, who received campaign funding from Weinstein, called rape and sexual assault allegations facing the movie mogul 'heartbreaking'
Clinton was apparently referring to the tape leaked during the campaign where Donald Trump was heard boasting about 'grabbing women by the p****y'
In fact he has never 'admitted' a sexual assault and apologized for 'locker room talk'
She told the BBC's Andrew Marr: 'I really commend the women who have been willing to step forward now and tell their stories'
In another interview with Channel 4 she said her campaign would hand back donations from Weinstein but had still to do so
That changed her first claim that she would give from her personal income - which would have earned her a tax break

Bill says the girls can feel his nose. Its large and its red and its a bit warty.
Some women may find Bill's Nose stimulating. Hillary, herself, admits that Bill's Nose was one of his major attractions when.... she was a bit younger.
