James Corden Just In Really Bad Taste Made Fun Of Bernie Sanders.....

He took on Sanders in his show opening monologue. Now I might just be too sensitive being a Bernie supporter - but I don't think a British citizen and not an American citizen - has a right to take down any American candidate for president. He doesn't even have a vote here. It's one thing if it's light-hearted - but I believe Corden's monologue was really demeaning and brutal and crossed the line.

James I like watching your show. I believe you are really a talented individual. I just think you went too far in this evenings monologue and I think you owe - not only Bernie and apology - but you owe his supporters and apology as well. When you become a citizen - like Craig Ferguson did - then maybe you have the privilege to make fun and be critical of U.S. presidential candidates. If you want to make fun of political figures - there's plenty of fun to be made of your own British politicians.

I know people here will want to know what Corden said - but I was so upset that I don't think I can do it justice trying to repeat it. I'm hoping that maybe tonight's monologue will be posted on his website -and if so - I'll let you know so you can view it and judge for yourself.

Maybe someone else here caught it and can help me out.

One thing I have to say is at least Bernie is being talked about now that he's showed that he's a serious threat to Hillary.

Unless it was about Bernie's religion?

in any mocking or dismissive way. Bernie deserves credit for his sincere and successful efforts.

I didn't see it, but I really am not attracted to Corden's type of hyperactive, shouting "comedy". He reminds me of Benny Hill.
