States that are not New York or California should stop getting in the way, according to comedian Wanda Sykes.
Sykes appeared on Mondayâs episode of CBSâ âThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertâ to complain that middle America should stop defying liberal blue states.
âIâm a black, gay woman and I have a daughter. So Iâm not doing so well right now,â she said.
âIt just sucks, man,â she said before launching into her complaints.
âItâs like the country, itâs no longer a democracy, right? I mean, weâre, this is no longer majority rule,â she said.
Sykes attacked the justices who overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion by saying they lied during their confirmation hearings when asked about respecting court precedents.
That led Colbert to chime in âespecially Kavanaugh,â in reference to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The ruling sent the issue of abortion to the states, which means liberal pro-abortion states such as New York and California are not impacted.
Sykes then went on to demean middle America.
âThe problem is that middle stuff,â she said. âThose states in the middle. That red stuff.â
âWhy do they get to tell us what to do, when the majority of us live out, you know, in New York, California? And weâre paying for all this crap, really,â Sykes said. âWeâre footinâ the bill.â
âThatâs the union,â Colbert replied.
âItâs supposed to be a representative democracy, but it turns out to be minority rule right now,â he said.
âCalifornia, if it were a country, itâd be like the fourth-, fifth-largest economy,â Sykes said.
Sykes said every state that is not California or New York should know its subservient place.
âIf Iâm footing the bill, know your position. You know what Iâm saying? ⌠If I say, âHey, letâs go out to dinner.â You donât get to pick the restaurant. Just shut up and eat,â Sykes said.
