Parkland survivors respond to Louis C.K. after comedian mocked their activism in new comedy routine
FORT LAUDERDALE Parkland students and at least one parent of a victim slammed comedian Louis C.K. for cracking jokes about school shooting survivors.
In audio laced with vulgarities that was leaked Sunday from a stand-up comedy routine that reportedly took place Dec. 16, the comedian appeared to mock Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students for their gun control activism instead of being normal trouble-making teens.
They testify in front of Congress, these kids ... (expletives) ... , he said, according to the leaked audio. Youre not interesting because you went to a high school where kids got shot. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? How does that make you interesting? You didnt get shot, you pushed some fat kid in the way now I gotta listen to you talking?
The recording, which surfaced Sunday on YouTube, was said to be from a 48-minute set he performed Dec. 16 at Governors Comedy Club in Levittown, N.Y., according to Variety.com.
