This guy looks like the “bad version” Mike pence. But yes, I’m aware that Mike pence is the bad Mike pence.

“If touring comics don’t understand the risks of indoor comedy, that means journalists have to inform them. If they don’t care, we have to criticize them. If we don’t make up for the failures that got us here, we’re only entrenching them further. This is no time for fluff.” ☝️
