Nick Cannon reignited controversy by making reference to old homophobic tweets from Amy Schumer and Chelsea Handler in defense of his fellow comedian Kevin Hart.
Cannon has been vocal about his support of Hart after the comedian stepped down as host of the 2019 Oscars amid backlash for anti-gay tweets he posted in 2009 and 2011.
The TV personality recently wrote to Hart on social media saying: 'We with you regardless!!! You know we feel about people trying to control us anyway!!'
And now the 38-year-old has dug up old homophobic tweets from female comedians such as Amy Schumer and Chelsea Handler as he posted: 'Interesting. I wonder if there was any backlash here....'
A tweet by Schumer read: 'Enjoy skyfall f*gs I'm about to get knee deep in Helen Hunt #thesessions'
Handler wrote in 2012: 'This is what a f*g bird looks like when he flexes.'
And Sarah Silverman posted: 'I don’t mean this in a hateful way but the new bachelorette’s a f****t.'

True. However I am happy to let Hollywood assholes continue to lacerate each other over this PC garbage.

I'd just love to sit back and occasionally toss some more gas on this dumpster fire. It's good entertainment.

Interesting the media "couldn't" find those tweets. Of course the media couldn't find their ass with 2 hands and a flashlight.

That continues to blow my mind. I liked his old show, but geez, he must know some powerful people to not have that ever brought up.

Liberal racism and homophobia is quite different from the conservative kind. A liberals heart and mind is pure and good, so when they're mean and offensive they're really not. Their speech is funny and insightful. You would know that if you weren't a racist homophobe.

I read somewhere that guys like Kimmel who did un-PC shit in the past are given a pass because he pushes a leftist agenda almost non-stop, while Hart is politically neutral. He doesn't bow at the Alter of Commie.

little blurb in todays online news said Kimmel got paid $15 grand, for the weeks work; and that that was very small change. All while ABC was charging MILLIONS for a 30 second spot.
