Jon Lovitz, an early Saturday Night Live cast member, had some harsh words for President Barack Obama over the weekend.
In an interview with Clerks director Kevin Smith, Lovitz, a registered Democrat who voted for Obama in 2008, bashed the president for his class warfare rhetoric and the notion that the wealthy dont pay their fair share in taxes.
This whole thing with Obama saying the rich dont pay their taxes is fucking bullshit, and I voted for the guy and Im a Democrat. What a fucking asshole, Lovitz said.
First they say
You can do anything you want. Go for it. So then you go for it, and then you make it, and everyones like, Fuck you, Lovitz said. [Obama] is the perfect example. Hes amazing. He had nothing
and the guy ends up being at Harvard. Hes the president of the United States. And now hes like, Fuck me and everybody who made it like me.
The interview was part of a series on Lovitzs podcast called The ABCs of SNL where the comedian tells behind-the-scenes stories of his time at Studio 8H, where he was a regular from 1985 to 1990.
Lovitz also criticized Smith for masquerading as a 99 percenter a reference to the Occupy Wall Street movement that the director said he supports.
Later on in the podcast when Lovitzs diatribe against Obama really started to heat up, Smith suggested that the government would come and shut down the podcast.
Ads by GoogleTheyre gonna come in and shut this place down, man. Theyre gonna be like: We heard the fourth fucking episode. You wont leave Obama alone. This is an election year, man
theyre gonna come in and make an example of you, man, Smith said. The government can do that. They can take your shit away.
As Smith goaded Lotivz, the lights in the theater abruptly turned off. Smith said, Whoa, what the fuck happened? Oooh. The governments here. They turned the lights off!
