Things get violent in Jordan Klepper’s new Portland-heavy special.
“Because Donald Trump had crafted this idea that Antifa are the only people protesting, the people in Portland decided to shed all of their clothes as an image of non-violence in front of these agents,” Klepper said.
Klepper explained, “As we were talking to people, we watched ICE agents consistently shooting these pepper bullets into the crowd.” “We watched them shove a musical band dressed in banana suits, knock a clarinetist to the ground, shove her face into the ground,” Klepper said. “Mere seconds after a joyous, comedic protest... It was really something to behold that I’ve never experienced anything like.” Klepper added, “This is what America feels like right now. Absurdity and cruelty and violence all into one.”Klepper told Variety, “The violence I saw was so performative, was so reckless, and there was such an intention to provoke.” He added, “It makes you disgusted to see American servicemen being used to literally attack people in banana costumes playing classical music... I was on the outskirts of it, and we all had to leave because we were choking on pepper spray.”Comedy Central Clips from the special haven’t been sent in advance to journalists, reportedly because all the nudity of the naked bikers has taken a lot of time for the editors to censor.The Daily Show
