It looks like presidential hopeful Andrew Yang is attempting to take the road less traveled with fired Saturday Night Live cast member Shane Gillis despite the fact he used racial slurs that target…
Yang tweeted “Shane Gillis reached out. Looks like we will be sitting down together soon.”
Yang seems to be doing the right thing or doubling down because even when Gillis called him a “Jew ch**k” on a podcast he recorded in May, in a string of tweets saying, “Shane – I prefer comedy that makes people think and doesn’t take cheap shots. But I’m happy to sit down and talk with you if you’d like.”He added, “For the record, I do not think he should lose his job. We would benefit from being more forgiving rather than punitive. We are all human.” Yang went on to say the obvious in that racial slurs are “extraordinarily hurtful” and said he listened to Gillis’s work and does not see him as “malignant or evil.
Gillis served up an apology after audio clips of him saying racial slurs came to light almost immediately afteralongside Chloe Fineman and Bowen Yang, who is Asian American. The apology, which stated, “I’m happy to apologize to anyone who’s actually offended by anything I’ve said” did not go over well with many, specifically the Asian American community — except for Andrew Yang.and apologized for any deficiencies in their vetting system that allowed for Gillis to be hired in the first place.
