Rob Schneider has defended fellow comedians Kevin Hart and Louis CK in a Twitter rant, in which he pointed out: Jokes are words.
The 55-year-old took to social media to speak out for Kevin Hart, who pulled out of hosting the Oscars after tweets in which he used homophobic slurs in 2009-2010 were unearthed.
He also spoke out in support for Louis CK, whose recently leaked set shows him mocking the Parkland shooting.
Theres a lot to unpack.
In now deleted tweets, Rob referenced Ellen Degeneres arguing that Kevin should be reinstated as the host of the Oscars this year, writing: I support @TheEllenShow supporting @KevinHart4real. Comics are the ones who are supposed to say the horrible things we all think but dont.
He added: FREE LOUIE CK!! JOKES ARE WORDS YOU F#CKING MORON C#NTS!!

Presumably summing things up, the Grown Ups actor quoted: ”Political correctness is just fascism disguised as manners.” George Carlin.
The Kevin Hart tweet comes after Ellen received a huge amount of backlash after featuring Kevin on her show, and saying that she forgives him for the homophobic comments.
She suggested Kevins critics were a small group of people and haters.
Whatevers going on on the internet dont pay attention to them. Thats a small group of people being very, very loud, she said.
We are a huge group of people who love you and want to see you host the Oscars.
The other tweet comes after Louis CKs first set since he admitted to sexual misconduct was leaked, showing him mocking the survivors of the Parkland shooting.

The 51-year-old can be heard to say: Youre not interesting cause you went to a high school where kids got shot. Why does that mean I have to listen to you?
How does that make you interesting? You didnt get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way and now I got to listen to you talk?
Rob appears to have since deleted all his tweets except one that reads: History has not and will not look kindly on those that suppress others freedoms of expression.
