In a twist of fate worthy of a tragic comedy, comedian Jay Johnston found himself in hot water after attending the infamous January 6 protest. Initially back-slammed by Hollywood friends, Johnston's participation in the protest led to a short prison stint—though he was pardoned. His alleged "crime"? Offering water to fellow protesters affected by crowd-control chemicals. The worst betrayal: his supposedly close friends ratting him out to the authorities. Ah, loyalty—a mere concept lost in the glitzy corridors of Tinseltown. Sarcasm aside, it seems even comedians can't escape the harsh reality of political divides.
