Comedian Rob Schneider was reportedly booed and infuriated by a crowd of left-wing health care workers in Canada after he made anti-vaccine, anti-transgender jokes onstage at a charity event.

A person who claims to have been a spectator at the event Said “Everyone in the room was groaning and groaning,” CBC reported, “and it was clear that everyone was uncomfortable.”
“Everyone in the room was groaning and saying to themselves, ‘What is going on?’ – and there was no laughter at times,” Tynan Allan told CBC. “It was very clear how uncomfortable everyone felt and how unacceptable what he was talking about was.”
“While we recognize that in a free and democratic society, individuals are entitled to their own views and opinions and that comedy can be edgy, the content, positions and opinions expressed during Mr. Schneider’s performance are not in line with the values of our foundation and team,” the Regina Hospital Foundation said in an apology statement.
“We do not condone, accept, support or share the position expressed by Mr. Schneider during the comedy show and we acknowledge that this performance did not meet the expectations of the audience and our team,” the group added.
The group also claimed they asked Schneider to “end the performance earlier than scheduled” and that he agreed and promptly left the stage.
