Tom Shillue on George Lopez’s ‘Deport the Police Joke: ‘It Wasn’t a Good Joke’

‘You have to allow comedians to go too far’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHILLUE: "He may have. But you have to allow it. You have to allow comedians to go too far. I don’t have a problem with comedians. Everything worked out the way it should in this instance. He tweeted out the picture of himself with the joke. It was not a good joke. It got pushed back. He deleted it. He followed it up with another joke. Deport 'The Police,' the band, you don't have to, because they're from Great Britain. I get it. It all worked out. He said, let cooler heads prevail, and I think that is what we should do."
