And the response? (Via The Blaze):
That incident occurred roughly 15 years ago. Shortly after the video featuring Silverman was published online, Martin called out the comedian in a scathing Facebook post:
Are you kidding ? You come in to my club 15 years ago and ask me for a guest spot , I did not ask you to perform and you were not booked, and Then you ask me for pay ? You asked to work out some material…
Then you make this a gender pay thing ? Sarah great cause I am with it, but I did not pay you less cause of gender…. I paid you less because Todd Barry was booked and you weren’t…It was a GUEST SPOT, so I gave you some car fare, which actually is more than almost any club would have given for a GUEST Spot…Funny how in your attempt to become a super hero with a noble cause, you forgot that little fact…GUEST SPOT ….GUEST SPOT
To be clear, Democrats want equal pay across the board… for minorities and women that is. So a headliner vs. a guest spot… it is a simple concept.
Gateway Pundit notes that Sarah Silverman apologized,
- “Silverman apologized for mentioning Martin’s name, but not for the lie. Her falsehood was legitimate, in her mind, because it supported the leftist narrative. She just regrets getting caught.”
