This guy needs to be "cancelled". Treat him the way any conservative would be treated for saying the same thing... Problem is, Conservatives don't talk like that.

This guy sounds like a progressive jerk but he does have his finger on what ails some segments of our society. The fact that up to 75% of black children are born out of wedlock directly results in what we are seeing now. I'm sure there were many black children in one family that had several "baby daddys" and others who didn't have a clue as to whom their father is. Barron Trump is not the problem. But progressives who refuse to address the fact that more black people are killed by other black people is a major problem. Chicago - 104 shot in one weekend. And summer is just beginning. In this case silence is violence. Until someone from the black community speaks up, and loudly, "we are our own worst enemy" not much is going to change.

Don't watch most of those baking championship shows, simply because I don't recognize any of the hosts. I have watched a few, like the British series that inspired all the FN copy cats. But when you bring politics like attacking kids to something like this, there is something wrong with YOU. Looking right at you Mr. Henson. When these slimeballs attack kids like this, it also makes me truly wonder about their off camera morals. I would guess this guy has none.

The Left has no clue that their hateful rhetoric, which many of them believe is "being funny", is actually very hateful, mean-spirited and creates a hostile work environment.
I'm sure each of those TV shows is owned by a company that likely has harassment training, and I assure you ABC does.
Harassment only needs to make you feel uncomfortable, and I'm sure a number of people around John Henson felt uncomfortable by his comments.

Someone who works around this Henson twerp needs to speak up.
This is a desperate need for attention and in no way represents humor or comedy.

John Henson is not a comedian, he is an arrogant dirtbag who is the only one who thinks he is funny. Apparently, his material hasn't improved since he was making a smarmy fool of himself on the TV Guide channel.
#6, in addition, Martin Nesbitt and Webster Hubbell would be unavailable for comment.

THIS is why my Republican party has lost respect. This morning there should have been reps of House & Senate leadership out there in a mini-presser front and center denouncing this insult in the strongest terms. However we cannot expect that can we? Nope. Our First Lady has to defend herself and her son. Despicable. Too many are just lazy and without honor.

The comment is not only hateful but makes no sense. One look at Barron Trump and there's no doubt who is father is.

#10, you make the error of assuming that they don't know what they are doing.
They know exactly what they are doing. And just like other political acts, political ads, where they say
"I'm so and so and I approved this message"...... these thugs approved of their message.
Don't give them a break and assume that it is a mistake or an error, or a joke that isn't funny.
No.
It is none of that. It is cold, calculated hate and the intent is to destroy everything that has been normal for the last few hundred years in this country. Conservatives really need to stop thinking "How can they make such an error?"
These are not errors, these are their PLAN.

Henson is best known for being the smart arse on "Wipeout", a cross between American Ninja and the Gong Show. His bankable "talent" is having one of TV's most punchable faces, he milks that with his mouth. A lightweight's lightweight.

If Democrats couldn't hate, the only feelings they would have would be rage, envy, and greed.
I think they prize hate above all their other emotions. You can't talk to one of them long before the hatred bubbles to the surface. Give them a can of spray paint, a brick, and a statue-strength length of chain and they're as happy as a pig in mud.

As if Barron isn’t practically a clone of his dad! Henson is just being the arsewipe that he is.

Well...to be honest, #6, some on these sites have made similar questions about & references to the Obama/Clinton girls. The one huge difference is that we don't have a national platform and even if we did would not make such remarks. But we know 'cancel culture' only works one way.
