Comedian Sarah Silverman recently admitted that she was given a pass for offensive jokes during her career — jokes for which normal people would have been denounced — because she is liberal.
Silverman’s comments came during an interview on the “SmartLess” podcast, which is hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett.
The liberal comedian is known for making off-color and offensive jokes throughout her career. She has joked about religions, AIDS, and rape. As Fox News noted, Silverman even once wore “blackface” on her show “The Sarah Silverman Program” in 2007.
Toward the beginning of the podcast, Hayes noted that Silverman has gotten “away with a lot of stuff,” referring to offensive jokes.
In response, Silverman said she was given a pass because she is liberal.
