On Saturday night, Wanda Sykes performed at Boston’s TD Garden and had strong words for her audience when they booed her for expressing anti-Trump sentiments in her jokes.
During Sykes’ performance, she joked that this was not the first time that a “racist, sexist homophobic president” had been elected but that “he’s just the first confirmed one, that’s it.”
When the audience booed her, Sykes just replied, “F*** you, motherf***er, f*** all of y’all.”
She then started to point around the crowd, saying, “F*** you, you, you.”

Over the booing, Sykes then insisted that “the evidence was there.”
“How can you say he’s not racist?” she asked. “’Grab them by the pussy’? How can you say he’s not sexist? How can you say he’s not homophobic?”
Despite the booing that started five minutes into the act, Sykes finished her performance and then flipped off the crowd as she left.
While Sykes was not the only performer at the 22nd annual Comics Come Home fundraiser, on behalf of The Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care, to speak against Trump, but according to the Boston Herald, “It seemed the crowd reacted far more harshly to Sykes’ take on Trump.”
