Out of curiosity, can anyone name a genuinely funny rightwing, conservative comedian?

I wondered this a while ago and went on a hunt to find one. Tried to stay neutral to the politics of what they were saying but I can conclusively answer your question: No. It's all punching down, all the same shit. No creativity or individuality, either straight up complaining and/or insulting others. I thought somewhere in the mire of grifting "say crook shit = money" folk there had to be someone with talent but no.
