The former late night host said Jan. 6 'is a blip' compared with a more personal offense in his eyes.
the former late night host joked about the multi-indicted ex-president’s offences against political humour, saying they constituted his “greatest crime.”“You can’t parody something that already has that crazy, irregular shape,” he told host Kara Swisher. “It’s not possible.
So I always thought that when Trump came along, what a lot of people have to revert to is: ‘Doesn’t he suck? I hate that guy. He’s an asshole.’ And those aren’t jokes.”Going on to reference the 2021 Capitol riot, O’Brien continued: “I’m really going out on a limb here saying — that’s his greatest crime. I think he’s hurt political comedy by being so outlandish himself. I think the Jan. 6 thing is a blip compared to how much he’s hurt comedy.
