It's not a good time to be a clown.

Once upon a time, when America was straight-laced and serious, a goofy clown wearing an outlandish outfit was perceived as amusing.

But now, we have people who look and dress and act like a freak-show act walking around in public, and ordinary people are threatened with sanctions and shaming if we don't treat them as if they are perfectly normal.

In that context, a clown costume isn't that amusing anymore.

I’ve always found clowns creepy. They’re right up there with mimes and Democrats.

And they are STILL creepy!

Don’t they know that many children are downright freaked out by clowns? Wake up screaming at night, and now have a face for the thing hiding in their closet!

BAN KLOWNS!!!!

If one is frightened by clowns [why?!], merely perceive them as fodder for pistol practice. It makes bad things laughable...

Sorry, but we had 8 years of a clown, so maybe the clown business is off because of 'Sir Kenyan Clown'..

Unfortunately, the Dems got a few clowns...Hillary is the murderous clown, which is really bad...
