"I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president," Sykes told the crowd according to the Boston Herald. "He's just the first confirmed one, that's it."
Sykes' comments were met with loud boos, prompting the comedian to yell out, "F--k you, motherf---er, f--k all of y'all."
She then began pointing at various audience members and said, "F--k you, you, you."
