U.S. Comedian Trae Crowder To Push “Commie Shit” In $500k Monthly Deal With Chinese Authorities

LOS ANGELES — Chinese officials confirmed Monday that they have entered into a new “cultural ambassadorship and opinion-alignment initiative” with U.S. comedian Trae Crowder, under which Crowder will receive a reported $500,000 per month to promote “commie shit” to Western audiences after joking on his Weekly Skews podcast that he would gladly accept such an arrangement. “When Mr. Crowder publicly expressed his openness to authoritarian left-wing governance and its messaging opportunities, we felt it would be irresponsible not to explore cooperation,” said Shen Haixiong, deputy head of the Chinese Communist Party’s Publicity Department, speaking to entertainment reporters outside the Chinese consulate in Los Angeles.. “Actually, Communism doesn’t sound half bad,” Crowder said during his first stand-up show in Raleigh, NC since entering into the lucrative partnership. “I mean, can it be any worse than the late-stage capitalism we are experiencing right now across America? Probably not,” referencing the violent ICE raids and attacks occurring across the country. Crowder’s Weekly Skews co-host Mark “Smart Mark” Agee reacted with a mixture of betrayal and admiration. “First of all, holy shit,” Agee said. “Second, six million dollars a year is a ton of money. I get it, the man’s got a family. But yeah—sorry Trae—I’m never believing a word you say ever again.” At press time, Producer Matt had chosen to remain silent.
