He's fantastic. That he made a sketch skewering Democrats is hardly a reason not to watch him. He makes fun of Republicans too. People who think comedians have a responsible to promote their own political views probably shouldn't watch comedy period.

His transgender piece was more problematic, and from what I'm heard it was completely inappropriate. I, however, am still going to watch him. He might actually make SNL funny, provided they let him write some skits.
