    Jesus fucking Christ. What a cretin Seinfeld is.

    Based Inigo Montoyo, at least.

    In a July 2025 New York Times interview with his wife Grody, Patinkin was critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies during the Gaza War, arguing that his actions are “endangering the Jewish population all over the world” and that “to watch what is happening, for the Jewish people to allow this to happen to children and civilians of all ages in Gaza, for whatever reason, is unconscionable and unthinkable.”[64][65][66]

      Wild that George and Elaine are the best humans of those four when they were arguably the worst in the show. Fuck Jerry, fuck Michael Richards, and even though he’s otherwise been ok fuck Larry for the crytpo shilling

        I’ve posted this elsewhere, I don’t think Richards is a piece of shit like Seinfeld.

        The Michael Richards incident was a literal one time event, albeit a terrible one. There were zero instances before and zero instances after that suggest Richards is racist. Everything since then Michaels has done suggests he’s exceedingly remorseful over it.

        I am not excusing it in the least, but I don’t think it’s even close to fair to compare him to someone currently supporting the genocide in Palestine.

          Is it even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no. Is it something a non-racist person would ever even think to say? Also hell no.

            So you excuse Seinfeld here, but still hold Richards 100% accountable?

                Is it [Seinfeld’s comments] even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.

                  Okay, I suppose I was too vague.

                  Is it [Richard’s comments] even close to [ being as bad as] publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.

                  I’m saying Richards may be a better person than Seinfeld, but I wouldn’t excuse his words or actions because they’re not something a non-racist would ever even think to do or say.

                  Hope that is clear now.

                    And I’m not trying to excuse the words or his behavior on stage. Only trying to acknowledge his behavior since the day after the incident and for the last 20 years as steadfastly apologetic. His words were wrong, and importantly he thinks so too.
