The Babylon Bee joked about Vivek running Trump’s 7-Eleven and it started a flamethrower war on the internet so let me explain it to you

For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Babylon Bee, they make funny jokes like this one:

 

 

It's okay, you can laugh. That joke is funny because it picks on racial stereotypes. It's okay to be funny, you guys. Don't be like this guy:

Now that's a Lefty, and we expected this from Lefties. They're humorless. But what if I told you that some peeps on the Right got offended by this joke and made their position clear on the Twitter as well? Well, they did.

"I like The Bee, but…"

"I'm not woke, but…"

People,

IT'S A JOKE!!!!

Okay, here's my favorite interaction in the comments of this Bee joke:

A supposed right-leaning comedian trying to dissect a Babylon Bee joke. You can't make it up!

Well, Bee Editor-in-Chief Kyle Mann gave him the lowdown.

🤣🤣🤣

Also chiming in was Matt Walsh.

You can always count on Matt to check conservatives back into reality. I mean, I know I keep saying it, but it's a joke.

Even Vivek dropped a line.

Yeah man, joking is fun and we should all do it more often, not less. Vivek is gonna be fine, y'all, and just because you're head-over-heels for him doesn't mean you have to be offended on his behalf by this joke.

Speaking of the joke, I'm no expert, but besides the racial stereotype here and Trump being a guy who might even say something like this, you gotta look at the past to find out why The Bee guys would even consider throwing this joke out there. My best guess is they were riffing on Joe Biden as well as Vivek/Trump.

Watch:

So are we gonna get mad at Biden now or no?
