Comedian ended his ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ with the left, says it has become ‘censorship party’

Stand-up comedian Whitney Cummings is fed up with the left, accusing them of abandoning their principles and slamming those upset by her calling out liberals in recent public appearances.

In it latest episode of her “Good For You” podcast, Cummings railed against the political left, saying that end of the political spectrum has become hypocritical and censorious in recent years.

“I’ve always thought of myself as a pretty liberal person,” Cummings said, “but I don’t think the left is as liberal as it used to be. It’s like the left became the party of censorship.”

The comedian said she had to start speaking up about the issues on her side of the political aisle.

“It’s just crazy to me that we’re in a time where if you’re on the left and you don’t criticize your party, how much do you care about your party? You know what I mean? It’s like what’s going on on the left — I had to say I finally just broke,” she said.

Cummings continued, characterizing her past support for the left as having “Stockholm Syndrome.” She added her realization that “if you love your party, you have to be able to criticize it, you know? And I don’t really take sides.”

The comic then ranted about liberal hypocrisy, saying, “My body, my choice, but you have to take this vaccine,” and “My body, my choice, pro-choice party, but you don’t have a choice in your candidate.'”

“I’m not an expert on politics, which is why I’ve always said I don’t weigh in, but I’m an expert on hypocrisy, okay? I was raised by hypocrites, I’ve dated them, and I know hypocrisy when I see it ,” she added.

Cummings’ comments were prompted by liberal critics who slammed her latest piece on CNN Live New Year’s Eve specialwhere she mocked the liberal media and the Democratic Party’s handling of President Biden and the 2024 election while speaking with hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper.

She even ripped the network that hosted her during the broadcast, joking that the 3,000 people who frequent her stand-up shows is the same as the audience size for CNN.

On the podcast, Cummings emphasized that she was motivated to call out blatant hypocrisy, not to pound the left or score political points. She added: “So for me, I didn’t think I was being political, you know? I thought I was kind of pointing out hypocrisies across the board.”

In response to the specific complaint that she didn’t go after Trump in her New Year’s Eve monologue, she said: “Because it’s a hacky thing to do. Everybody’s done it and to do it on CNN, it’s like, it’s home court advantage, cheap shot, hack – There’s nothing risky or dangerous about it.”
