Your support makes all the difference.With just a few days to go before the presidential election, Louis C.K. has come out batting for Hillary Clinton in a big way.
He was a guest on Conan this week, and O’Brien felt it would be remiss if he didn’t ask the comedian about his thoughts on the vote.
C.K. has a knack for breaking situations down into core elements others might not have considered, and pointed out the benefits of having a mother in the White House.
“I don’t want somebody who is likeable or cool and more,” he told the host, presumably in reference to Obama.
“We need a two faced, conniving, crazy - somebody who’s got a million schemes.”
While the email leak has been a weakness in Clinton’s campaign, C.K. thinks the fact the candidates inbox doesn’t seem to be as depraved as all of ours is something of a strength.
“And, by the way, all [Clinton’s] sh*t is out there,” he continued. “Every email she ever wrote is in the newspapers, and she’s not in jail which is amazing. But we need a tough b*tch mother who nobody likes and just does sh*t.”
“This is my feeling overall,” he summed up, when Conan asked him about people choosing not to vote. “If you vote for Hillary, you’re a grown-up. If you vote for Trump, you’re a sucker. If you don’t vote for anybody, you’re an assh*le.
“If you’re a liberal who’s not going to vote, you’re a piece of sh*t.”
