Dave Chappelle is right. He shouldn't say that publicly, but he did anyway.

Charlie Kirk when a maniac attacked Dave Chappelle: it’s sinister and political violence is not ok Dave Chappelle on Charlie’s ass*ssination: I feel better https://t.co/3LQkU8pbR5

Charlie Kirk condemned political violence. Dave Chappelle glorified assassination.

Charlie Kirk's children should be proud of their father.

Dave Chappelle is done comedically after what he did Saturday night. He told a Madison Square Garden crowd that he’s happy Charlie Kirk was killed and that the feeling is involuntary. Attendees also report he said he doesn’t care about 9/11 and is sick of people saying “never forget.” None of what Chappelle said is funny. Shame on him. The show was phone-free, so there’s no recording, but multiple people who were there have described the same remarks. Kirk was assassinated in September 2025 while speaking on a college campus. Celebrating that murder from a stage, even framed as an involuntary reaction, crosses a basic line. So does dismissing the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil and the people who still mark it. Chappelle has spent years positioning himself as a fearless truth-teller who punches in every direction. This isn’t that. It’s open contempt for a murdered political figure and for a national trauma that still shapes how millions of Americans see the world. Sponsors and venues that keep booking him after this are choosing to underwrite it. Comedy has wide latitude. It doesn’t require the audience or the companies that pay the bills to pretend a man expressing joy at a political assassination is just doing bits. Drop him. I’ve spent many years applauding and defending Chappelle. That ends immediately. He’s a disgrace to America and he’s not funny.
