She’s known for dealing with difficult crowds.
Amy Schumer has been killing it on her worldwide stand-up tour over the last few months. Her stint in Dublin last weekend was a huge hit with fans – including U2, natch – plus she was the soundest customer ever, leaving a huge tip for a harried pub waitress.
She hit headlines everywhere for her spectacular way of dealing with a rude heckler in the audience.
The comedian has gained alot of attention in the media once again but this time it’s because of what happened during her show in Tampa, Florida.
Amy was performing at the Amalie Arena when she was booed by angry Trump fans for mocking the presidential candidate onstage.
According to Entertainment Weekly, when the comedian began talking about political issues, such as the gun laws in America and the upcoming president election, things got a little heated in the audience.
Amy decided to give the Trump supporters in the room a chance by bringing up one man, who explained why he would be voting against Hillary Clinton but it’s safe to say Amy didn’t let him talk for too long.
After kicking the man offstage, she went on to deem Donald Trump an “orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster” which only annoyed the audience more as up to 200 people began booing her and ultimately, left the arena.
Speaking about the members of the audience that left her show, Amy didn’t seem to be sorry for her remarks and vowed to continue telling the truth.
“I loved the crowd and my show in Tampa last night!”
“I want to thank the 8,400 people who stayed. We had a great time! We have always depended on comedians to make us laugh and tell the truth. I am proud to continue that tradition.”
