Comedian and “WTF the Podcast” host Marc Maron ripped into conservative comedians Monday night following Tony Hinchcliffe’s racist commentary at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally Sunday.

“The anti-woke flank of the new fascism is being driven almost exclusively by comics, my peers. Whether or not they are self-serving or true believers in the new fascism is unimportant. They are of the movement,” Maron wrote in a lengthy post shared on his website.

“I don’t do a political show but I am very political. Innately. I keep up. I read too many clickbait pieces. I waver between almost uncontrollable fear and, not really hope, but just fantasizing for an outcome that will guarantee the progress of culture and freedom of mind for everyone,” Maron began his piece.
