Cho made the comments during an episode ofThe Creative Asylumpodcast that was released on Tuesday.
While ranting about the government shutdown and Republican messaging, Cho claimed the Trump administration’s policies are driven by a perverse pleasure in suffering.
Cho ranted, “It really irks me that when they use our language against us, like when they were saying, ‘Oh, the Democrats are the reason why the government is shut down.’ And when Karoline Leavitt says, ‘Well, their cruelty is the point.’ No, that’s you. Your cruelty is the point. Your cruelty is why you do it, because they have a kink. Their kink is cruelty. They love to see the suffering of immigrants and trans people. And they want to put children in concentration camps, and poor people. It gets them off.”
Podcast host Daniel House then chimed in, claiming Trump’s subordinates all have “daddy issues” that fuel their supposed “kink of cruelty.”
Cho agreed before pivoting to her violent fantasy about Democratic retribution.
“I really do believe that [politics] is a pendulum and it does swing. And when it swings back, we will punish them. They will be put in prison. We cannot let up.”
She continued, “I want to believe in Democrats. I am a Democrat, but I also feel like there’s this weird attachment to decorum and taking the high road, and none of that is gonna work. We need somebody, we need a feral, bloodthirsty, violent Democrat. We just need somebody who is willing to put them all in prison — do the right thing and put them all in prison.”
