On 15 April, Chappelle appeared on an episode of NPR’s Newsmakers, hitting out at Republicans for “weaponising” his transgender jokes, saying: “I did resent that the Republican Party ran on transgender jokes. You know, I felt like they were doing a weaponised version of what I was doing. That’s not what I was doing.”

They didn't do a "weaponized" version of what you're doing, Dave. You were taking their shitty transphobic "attack helicopter" jokes and trying to repackage them. You didn't invent making fun of trans people, you absolute dickweed. Either be a piece of shit or don't, you can't have it both ways.

I saw the bit he did in his special. How is what he literally said the media. Fucking shithead is just upset now that people aren’t listening to him anymore.

Money can't buy everything, or else dudes like him and musk wouldn't be so desperate for peoples approval and attention. No matter how rich you are, you can't make people forget that you're a piece of shit.

According to the article he called himself "Team TERF." So even with the most generous interpretation of his jokes, the spirit behind them was still, "You are only what genitals you were born with." What's to misunderstand?

The idea is presumably that when the power in the US shifts away from the cult of Trump, he is able to pretend that he had nothing to do with them, so he doesn't get pulled down with them...

Malcolm X knew what type of person Chappelle is.
