Have you gotten to attend one of Matt Rife's live standups?

Trying to cancel comedian for jokes is never going to work 😂

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't mind offensive humor. If I get offended, I watch something else. I'm all for freedom of speech, as long as it's not misinformation, that can be dangerous.

[@kalford4909]

It never fails. As soon as someone has success people come after you with old tweets and videos like this that points them out.

Never mind the fact he was 15. We’re all arrogant to some degree when we’re younger. I hate this trend of taking someone’s past action or words & holding them to current standards. Woke culture is ruining so many things.

[@Kristine_202]

He didn't really say, "I can't be racist, I have a black roommate," did he?🤦‍♀🤣

Cancel cancel culture

Nice try for shaming someone for what they did as a young teenager. Literally everyone has said shit they regret as a teen, looking back. It’s called hindsight and clearly Matt is aware of his dumb teen inappropriate comments. It’s ridiculous how your channel is trying to shame & create controversy over this. It’s not even about him; it’s shaming anyone for what they said as a teen when they grew and learned from their ignorance. That’s not cool.

Ah, yes. The "all white people go through a racist teen phase" excuse.

“Everyone’s feelings are always hurt, all the time. I just don’t have it in me to care anymore.” I perceived that in him before he said it and I echo his sentiment. #teammattrife

This is the world we live in. If someone's actually doing good in their life, there are always people who can not be happy for them. It's like the old saying, misery loves company.

[@norakaizer1945]

I love Matt ! And hate cancel culture!

[@sebastianag2966]

[@AnderDoUrden]

There's no such thing as going too far with comedy. Just stop... Please

[@katherineknapp4370]

[@beccarar7620]

He's not hot and he's not funny. I don't get the hype.
