Comedian Tim Dillon has become a bit of sensation over the last year. He interviewed JD Vance before the election and he frequently takes shots at woke culture.
Dillon recently spoke to FOX News and pointed out that the left has drifted so far out of the mainstream that basic American values like free speech are now considered ‘right wing’ by progressives.
This is one of the reasons why Democrats lost so badly in November and they have shown no signs of course correction.
From FOX News:
Tim Dillon says rebranding of core American values as ‘right-wing’ is the ‘craziest thing’ he’s ever heard
In a sit-down interview with Fox News Digital, Dillon was asked about the perceived shift to the right in comedians’ political views, with figures such as Joe Rogan endorsing President Donald Trump in the last election.
Dillon took issue with the observation, arguing that values comedians typically support today — such as free speech and advocating for the middle class — are not inherently right-wing.
“You know, when people call it a rightward shift, my pushback to that is: were these statements rightward in 2015 or 2005? When did they become right-wing statements? When did it become a right-wing statement to say, ‘I should have the bodily autonomy to not take an experimental vaccine?’” Dillon questioned.
The comedian continued: “When did it become a right-wing statement to say, ‘I don’t think the United States should be in wars?’ I remember these were left-wing statements. When did it become a right-wing statement to say that the United States should look after the middle class and workers instead of importing cheap labor so that the profits on Wall Street could go up? These are right-wing points? This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”
In another recent interview, Dillon talked about the role podcasts played in the 2024 election and how Democrats missed the boat. Watch:

Democrats have allowed the radical left to dictate the direction of their party and it has been disastrous for them. As Dillon notes, free speech should not be considered right wing. It’s a basic American value.
