Hundreds of people stormed out on Amy Schumer during her comedy show at the Amalie Arena after she ranted insults against Donald Trump, which took place on Oct. 23, Sunday. This angered some people in the audience.
According to Tampa Bay Times, the comedian mocked Trump halfway the show and even called one of his supporters on stage to explain why he would vote for the Republican candidate. The man said he supported Trump because he distrusted Hillary Clinton.
The situation got out of hand when the 35-year-old comedian called Trump "an orange sexual assaulting, fake college starting monster." Her comments were met with loud booing from her audience, with over 200 people walking out.
Schumer is known for her controversial topics, which include, sexual assault, gun control, and the ongoing presidential debate. The 35-year-old comedian's remarks on Trump were considered too intense, political, and biased while some of her fans linked her attitude to the fact that she was a supporter of Hillary Clinton.
After the show, many fans took to twitter to vent out their disappointment on the occurrence. Most of them even asked Schumer not to be very political and instead focus on entertaining her audience.
Schumer was seen actively participating in Clinton's campaign in Florida back in March. Pictures where she was interacting with fans at the Clinton campaign resurfaced the internet, raising more concern on her vocal opinion towards Trump.
The comedian's insights on sexual assault were reportedly connected to the fact that she was a victim of sexual assault. She, however responded to the attacks on her twitter account saying that she was grateful to the 8400 fans who did not walk out during the show.
While some of Schumer's fans thought that she went too far into politics during the show, she told Vanity Fair that her position as a comedian was to make people laugh and also tell the truth. She added that she was happy to continue in that tradition.
Meanwhile, Trump revealed through his twitter account that voter fraud has posed a lot of threat to the integrity of the United States. He insisted that there were many things in play that contribute to a possible case where the elections will be rigged.
President Barack Obama, responded to Trump's claims asking him to stop whining about a possible fraud in the elections and instead focus on winning the hearts of voters. Obama added that it was unprecedented for a presidential candidate to discredit a poll before it actually took place.
