Leslie Jones Unleashes Fiery Take On Who's To Blame For The Current State Of The U.S.

The comedian said Americans are "more interested" in Beyonc or Taylor Swift than "if women are going to be able to continue to vote."

Comedian Leslie Jones was dead serious when she was asked who deserves the blame for the current state of America and she didnt pull any punches.

Jones was at  Essences Black Women in Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday when HuffPost asked the former SNL cast member her thoughts on the U.S. and where its heading.

The current state of the country is our fault because were not involved, Jones said. Were so uninterested in what democracy is. Were so uninterested in whats going on.

Were more interested in a Beyonc or a Taylor Swift concert or Reesa Teesa on TikTok than to be worrying about if women have rights, if Blacks are going to keep their rights, if women are going to be able to continue to vote, she continued.

As a result of all this, Jones fears the country is going backward and were uninterested, adding that its very sad but the state of the world is our fault.
