Leslie Jones has a new stand-up routine that is predictably angry, which is sad because at one point the comedienne was fairly funny. You can tell that her experience on Twitter with Milo and with politics in general has made her comedy mean, which really isn’t funny.
For example, from Page Six:
“If I see another 45-year-old white woman from Williamsburg saying ‘black lives matter,’ I’m going to punch you in the mouth,” the “Saturday Night Live” star said during her recent four-night stint at New York comedy club, Carolines on Broadway. “Stop doing that.”
Isn’t that a little, well … racist?
Doesn’t this make her a tad racist? Or does any criticism of Leslie Jones get you banned from Twitter? Hmmmm https://t.co/TZnTh5kMjg

So while her jokes aren’t necessarily funny, the reaction to her routine (in particular the portion where she wants to punch a white woman) has been pretty hilarious. For example, it made Perez Hilton sorta fussy with her. Now THIS is comedy:
As someone who's been punched, I don't find jokes about punching people funny. They're not!
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) February 26, 2017
Yeah! Don’t joke about getting punched!
His main concern was that Republicans would have a heyday with this (which we are):

Poor Perez.
And Leslie responded, although she never tagged Perez (we actually had to read down into her thread to find out who she was referring to, and it was Hilton):

Why should people laugh if they don’t think you’re funny, Leslie?
And if you don't like it. Don't listen!! Bye Felicia!!
