Comedian Whitney Cummings took aim at the political left during her latest Good For You podcast, accusing it of abandoning liberal values in favour of censorship and hypocrisy.
Describing her past loyalty as “Stockholm Syndrome,” Cummings argued that true commitment to a political party requires honest criticism.
She pointed to inconsistencies in leftist messaging, citing issues like vaccine mandates and limited candidate choices.
Her remarks follow backlash for her satirical jabs at Democrats during CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, where she mocked liberal media and the network itself.
Cummings defended her approach, emphasizing that she targets hypocrisy, not specific political agendas, and avoids “hacky” jokes aimed at former President Trump, deeming them predictable and uninspired.
I had a super long list of “things the mainstream media won’t cover” but only included ones I super duper was able to fact check! Thanks for everyone on X who sent me some when I asked in a post yesterday ❤️🫡 pic.twitter.com/1eVoGQ40Fq
