People Walked Out of Amy Schumer’s Show After She Mocked ‘Orange’ Donald Trump

Around 200 people walked out of Amy Schumer’s show in Tampa, Florida, Sunday evening after she mocked Donald Trump and called him an “orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster.”

Loud booing could be heard within the Amalie Arena, the Tampa Bay Times reported, before roughly 200 people walked out – about 1% of the stadium’s capacity. “I don’t want to hear that. We wanted to have a good night without distractions with the politics,” one spectator told the publication.

Schumer discussed political topics including gun control and the presidential election. She also asked whether a Trump supporter could get up on stage and explain their enthusiasm for the Republican candidate. When some members of the audience booed, the 35-year-old comedian invited them to leave, the Times reported.

In her recent book, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, Schumer described Tampa as a “horrendous” city, adding “I’m not scared about writing that, because I know for a fact that no one who lives there has ever read a book. JKJKJKJK, but kind of not K.” However, the Times estimated that around 10,000 fans turned up to see her perform. The newspaper gave her show a positive review.
