Former Food Network host Josh Denny is reiterating his support for new legislation in Texas that bans women from getting abortions after six weeks. And he doesn’t care if people don’t like the words he’s using to do it.
After Denny faced sharp backlash on Twitter for supporting the ban, and directly insulting the women it might affect, the ex-host spoke up once more on Tuesday, attacking liberals for shaming his words.
“There’s nothing off-limits for liberals and leftists when it comes to mocking us, our beliefs, or ideals,” Denny tweeted. “They use whatever language or hyperbole they want, and it’s applauded by the Msm and Hollywood. I’ll use whatever mean language I want to make jokes or express my thoughts.”

The Food Network has issued a statement distancing itself from a controversial tweet from a former show host, saying it “regrets providing him a platform.”
Josh Denny, who formerly hosted the show Ginormous Food, tweeted out a comment on the new Texas abortion law. Denny used a slur to describe women and said he disagreed that many women wouldn’t know they were pregnant within six weeks of conception.
Food Network responded on Friday.
“For those asking: Our working relationship with Josh Denny ended years ago and we removed all episodes he hosted at that time,” the Food Network said via Twitter. “His views do not reflect our company values and we regret giving him a platform.”
Denny posted several comments on the Texas law, which bans abortion after six weeks. Denny later claimed he’d been joking and would “Never apologize” for his brand of comedy. He also said...

Comedian and Food Network host Josh Denny has come under fire for his recent comment that "'Straight White Male' has become this century's N-Word," and his convo with TMZ's Van Lathan only added fuel ... when Denny used the racial slur multiple times. Josh was a guest on Van's 'The Red Pill' podcast this week to discuss the controversy, but got off to a rocky start by saying the n-word. Despite Van asking him to refrain from using it,...

The star of the Food Network show Ginormous Food, which seeks out the biggest and tastiest foods in America, may have bitten off more than he can chew. The caustic standup comedian stirred up a hornets nest of comments on Twitter with some insulting remarks that took aim at Muslims, blacks, Jews, and others in a series of random riffs and off-the-wall comments.
Denny veered between bits that seemed to be taken from a gonzo stand-up comedy routine designed to outrage and provoke, to seemingly trying to engage his audience in dialog about deeper issues. If his goal was attention, he certainly achieved it, setting off a tweetstorm and calls for professional retaliation against him.
Midway through the first season of Ginormous Food, Food Network picked up 13 additional episodes. The show generated “tremendous response from our viewers,” said the announcement on its renewal. It is unclear whether the show has...

Is it time to riot? "The Walking Dead" producers tried to use "Talking Dead" to sell the Season 6 finale to the audience -- comparing the cliffhanger to the "Lost" hatch and such -- but the Internet was not buying. The Internet wanted a head to roll, and they wanted to See the head, dammit, not spend 90 minutes waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting -- watching what seemed like a thousand commercials -- only to have the show end right at the climactic moment, not showing us which cast member was killed by Negan.
That was the whole build-up to the finale, fans thought -- especially fans of Robert Kirkman's comic book -- and as usual the finale was teased to high heaven by the cast for the emotional weight and trauma. And yet, we won't even see what happened until October, when the momentum will be gone and --...
