In a display of insensitivity, comedian Michael Ian Black chose to disparage Congresswoman Mia Love on the day her passing was announced, labeling her a "DEI" hire and expressing hope that President Donald Trump would "erase her.
".
Love, a trailblazer as the first black woman elected to Congress from Utah, succumbed to brain cancer at the age of 49. Despite the gravity of the situation, Black found it appropriate to mock the congresswoman's death.
Black utilized the left-leaning social media platform BlueSky to express his derision, stating, "Assuming Trump will honor her by erasing her story. Its surely what this conservative DEI Congresswoman would have wanted." This comment underscores a pattern of Black's antagonism toward Trump, Republicans, and their supporters.
According to Breitbart, Black's history of contentious remarks includes urging Democrats to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump even before he assumed office for his second term. This call to action came before Trump had undertaken any official duties in the White House, highlighting Black's persistent opposition.
Black's penchant for controversy extends beyond social media. As a co-captain on a CNN quiz show, he faced embarrassment after making unfounded claims about a diplomatic achievement President Trump discussed during a debate with Joe Biden. Trump had mentioned a conversation with a Taliban leader named Abdul, which Black dismissed as fictitious, accusing Trump of fabricating the name based on racial stereotypes.
However, it was later confirmed by news outlets that Trump had indeed spoken with Abdul Ghani Baradar, a Taliban figure. This revelation prompted Black to issue a tepid apology on his X account, which he subsequently deleted.
