My own personal preference in comedians is a combination of "biting" and "cleaver", with, perhaps more "cleaver" than "biting"--but that is a hard balance to pull off. But, Wolf's is hardly a unique approach. I think she is getting more derogatory reviews because of some significant gender based stereotyping.
One things for sure, the Trumpistas deserved every word and MORE. The MSM should take some of the much deserved criticism to heart as well.
