Rob Schneider Denies Republican Comedy Set Was Cut Short Over Offensive Material: ‘I’m Not Apologizing for My Jokes. Enough With This Woke Bulls—‘

Rob Schneider is refuting a recent Politico report (via Vanity Fair) that claimed a stand-up comedy set he performed last year at a networking event for Republican lawmakers was cut shorts after his jokes bombed. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith reportedly walked out of the room and the set was allegedly cut short after just 10 minutes.
“I’m not changing my material or apologizing for my jokes to anybody,” Schneider said in a statement to TMZ when asked about the report. “Enough with this woke bullshit. America’s sick of it. I did 50 minutes because that’s what I was paid to do. Nobody removed me from stage. Somebody waved to me at the 50 minute mark.”
According to the Politico report, Schneider’s set was full of “raunchy” material and some jokes were “aimed at Asian people,” including one about “Korean whorehouses.” The comedian told TMZ that many of these jokes were actually included in his 2020 Netflix.
