A Michigan rodeo clown is out of a job after he joked about gender identity at the Calhoun County Fair last week.

“You’re either a boy or a girl, y’all understand,” “Rockin’ Robbie Hodges told the audience Thursday. “If you’re confused, then you need help, OK?”

Some audience members appeared to laugh at the joke, but an attendee who recorded the skit said many people left out of protest, a local NBC News affiliate reported.

Megan Harvey, the executive director for the Calhoun County Fair, said she was disappointed by the comments.

“I was very disappointed, because we do not put on a platform for that to happen here,” she told NBC.

It was nice, living in a free country.

The F*** they did. People who go to rodeos are not gullible fools unlike those people who are buying into this dysphoria mental illness.

Nobody left, they are just making that sh*t up to push their stupid story.

In fact, people thought it was hilarious and that's why the Politically correct Nazis are so upset about. The one thing you may not do is laugh at your "betters."

He is right, if you don’t know what sex you are
you need help.

Well, if I paid to see a rodeo clown, but got a political lecture instead, then I'd not be happy.

But if it was one joke? Liberals need to get over themselves. A day rarely goes by when I don't get called a bigot, or a racist, or stupid, by some fool talking head on TV.

Rodeo attendees supporting this left wing ****? Sounds unlikely to me.

Calhoun County is in the western part of the state.
That’s practically the Bible Belt.

I doubt very seriously anyone walked out in protest.

“many people left out of protest”.... I am curious as to what the number was. Maybe 1,000 in attendance, and one couple left (because they, coincidentally, had to be home for some reason??)?

I don’t believe for one second that any noticeable number of people left. The kind of people that generally would attend a rodeo are not the progressive SJW crowd, and think someone with a penis and Y chromosome is ever a girl.

Looks like Robbie Hodges is famous, as rodeo clowns go. I do not think he was fired. He might not get to work the Calhoun County Fair again, but looks like he will have plenty of clown work.

People who go to rodeos aren’t the kind offended by this.

Nah, the only thing about anyone leaving is the camera cuck’s word. Probably the only person in the whole crowd that was offended.

GMTA -- first thought to pop in my head upon reading the article. I haven't been to rodeo since 70s but I bet the clowns are still doing some of the same old jokes and skits.

No, they're more likely to be down to earth, normal, well adjusted human beings who know what their sex is, and agree with the rodeo clown fellow.

It was. No one even says “it’s a free country” anymore.

I remember the rodeo clown that got into trouble for wearing an Obama mask, even though rodeo clowns have been doing that with presidents for years.

You get political lectures if you go see almost any comedian.
