The comedian also revealed who she blames for Kamala Harris’ loss.
“I mean it’s so many reasons why you can say it happened,” Sykes said on the show, “But I think you know, a lot of us aren’t, like, totally shocked” because “sometimes America is just gonna America.”
Even though she wasn’t floored by the results, Sykes admitted she’s not feeling great about the outcome. “I’m a Black woman and a lesbian, how do you think I’m doin’?” she asked. “It’s like ‘Okay,’ you get your hopes up, you think you’ll move forward,” she said before revealing who she blames for Trump’s win.“I blame those damn Cheerio commercials, showing all those interracial couples,” she said. “You scared the sh-- outta white people.

“Black women aint havin’ it right now,” she explained. “So don’t ask dumb questions and stuff with them puppy dog eyes. You will get the sh-- slapped out of you.”
