While leaving Mastro's in Beverly Hills, comedian D.L. Hughley was caught by TMZ reporters who asked him what his thoughts about President Donald Trump releasing Alice Johnson from prison were.
The comedian says that when you pardon one Black person, but you have set rules in place regarding hiring federal judges or attorney general that send more Black people to jail, for the same situation."
D.L. Hughley stated: "I think a lot of people confuse activity with accomplishment. I don't. Letting her go, but setting up a system that sends more people to prison" is not a solution to a widely spread problem.
On Trump, Hughley says he played a three-card Monte game. Trump decided to do something that would make people think that he's done something.
The reporter's next question was whether we were in the Kim Kardashian era of politics, but again, D.L. did not have any BS. "Politics and Kim Kardashian are too much different," he says with a smirk, "You both gotta show your ass to get heat."
Toward the end of the brief interview, D.L. Hughley says he's extremely pleased that Alice Johnson and Meek Mill are free, but he points out that there are still hundreds of thousands of people who are in the exact same position.
"Are we going to free them all?," asks D.L. Hughley rhetorically. He would absolutely not support Kim Kardashian or Kanye West to run for the public office.
