Famous Comedian Absolutely Loses It Over Trump Calling Reporter 'Piggy'

Comedian Leslie Jones went on a heated, profanity-laden rant on MS NOW’s “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace” on Monday over President Donald Trump silencing a reporter and calling her “piggy.”

Trump snapped at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey in November when she pressed him about documents related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, saying, “Quiet, piggy.” Jones said on the podcast that she would have snapped back at Trump and cursed him out, with MS NOW censoring much of her language.

“Let me explain something to you. I don’t understand how these people let that in — I don’t mean no harm. If he would have said, ‘Shut up, piggy’ to me, I’d have been like, ‘You fat mother—'” Jones said before MS NOW bleeped her out for several seconds.

“‘[Y]ou stankin’ bastard,'” she added after the censorship. “You wouldn’t be able to talk to me like that. ‘Who you callin’ piggy, you fat? —”

MS NOW then censored Jones again for several more seconds.

“I mean, like, how are y’all not losing your shit like that?” she asked. “He called a woman ‘piggy.’ If [former President Barack] Obama did that, [former President Joe] Biden did that … some of the stuff, they would have dragged Obama out to the yard and executed him right there, with some of the stuff that he does.”

After the president had answered one of her queries, Lucey tried to ask him about a newly released email from Epstein in which he alleged that Trump was aware of his sex trafficking operation and knew the victims. The email emerged following House Democrats’ publication of records attempting to link Trump to Epstein.

“Quiet! Quiet, piggy,” Trump told Lucey as he attempted to field a different reporter’s question.

Democrats redacted the name of one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, who asserted in a 2016 deposition that Trump did not engage in any sexual acts with Epstein’s victims during her time with him. Other Epstein victims told NBC News in September that they had never witnessed or heard about Trump doing anything illegal during his relationship with Epstein.
