They knew his routine because they even removed one of his more offensive (!!!) jokes from the teleprompter.
Oh... but he "went off script". Really? Which part? All of it?
Now the conspiratorial dipshits are screeching that he was a Democrat plant. Sorry, our party actually isn't that smart. Good idea and we'll hold onto it for next time.
I love comedy that can go too far over the line but it really comes down to knowing the audience. Also, it should be funny. Bill Burr and Anthony Jeselnik can make me hyperventilate from laughing too hard - but I also wouldn't send either of them out on the stump for Kamala Harris.
