Wanda Sykes spared almost no one associated with the Trump administration during her routine Wednesday night at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre.
Sykes was at the Fox to headline a celebration of the 49th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a seminal turning point in the LGBTQ rights movement.
Tig Notaro also performed, and the pair were introduced by LGBT advocate and activist Feroza Syed.

But while Sykes - a consulting producer for the now-canceled "Roseanne" reboot - had zingers for everyone from Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen to Housing Secretary Ben Carson, a rambunctious audience had to push the comic to address "Roseanne."
And when she did, she was terse and to the point: “Roseanne? The thing is I don’t have any jokes about it. She said some racist (expletive) − and I quit.”
Short as it might have been, it brought Sykes one of her loudest rounds of applause of the night.
