Nate Bargatze Caught With Trump at UFC? W. Kamau Bell Says ‘Don’t Pose With Fascists!’
- What’s the fuss about Nate Bargatze?
- Why W. Kamau Bell is upset.
- Our take on being seen with controversial figures.
You won’t believe the buzz shaking up the comedy world right now. Nate Bargatze, one of the funniest guys out there, is getting some serious heat.
He was spotted at a recent UFC fight, hanging out with Donald Trump. It’s making big waves.
W. Kamau Bell, another sharp comedian, is definitely not amused. He spilled his thoughts in his latest essay, titled “It Is So Easy To Not Do This.”
Bell’s message is super clear. He basically told Bargatze, and others, “Don’t be in photos with fascists.” Ouch!
The whole visual of it, the ‘vibe’ of those photos, really seems to be bothering Bell. He’s hinting that silence or association can send a very specific message, even if unintended.
It’s about who you share the frame with. That picture can speak volumes.
Bargatze is known for his clean, “nice guy” comedy. This situation feels like a big contrast to his usual style.
It brings up a big question: how much does who you hang out with impact your public image?
