What are they afraid of? If someone wants to hurt Trump there’s a room full of good guys with guns. Should work itself out.

Can somebody give me a non-conspiracy laden reason why CNN and MSNBC doesn’t routinely have reporters hounding the NRA’s people about this? I’m genuinely curious.

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The NRA should simply tell the secret service to ban people, not guns, from the hall. Problem solved.

“hear ~12,000 people laugh at a transphobic joke,”

OMG you’re an idiot. Shut up.

Well I wasn’t digging the words the author used pejoratively for Dave, this article offers nothing in supporting the comedy community. It serves only to write horrible character judgements of Dave Chappelle. It’s a gross misuse of the kinja platform. And it didn’t make me laugh.

“Made his career”? Are you blind, deaf or dumb? His career was built on years of stand up and a legendary TV show - neither of which were “made” bashing trans or queer people.

Three people virtue signaling on Twitter does not create a consensus of opinion.  Nobody outside progressive social media cares that Chappelle told a joke or two.  Stop trying to make this non-story a story.  

Expect stuff like this to keep happening. Comedians are very aware that hyper-sensitive cancel culture is gunning for their silence, and comedy is their bread and butter- water it down, make certain subjects taboo, this is an attack on what they do. Not to mention that violence is being encouraged among the cancel…

Any chance you’re going to grow a spine and stop being pathetically passive-aggressive and at least confront the “hateful loser” I don’t know about you but nothing spells spineless shitless coward than saying something about someone while trying to avoid that said person, at least Chappelle has the balls to do so, you…

yet here you are in a jezebel comment section, it’s funny how the jezebel audience is anything but self aware

Oh god, grow the fuck up people , there are far worse things in this world that listening to a couple of mean spirited jokes from a legendary comedian, for example we gotta put up with jezebel and the forehead dented audience it gardners still fucking existing

“Phones and recording devices were prohibited at the event—almost as if Mulaney or whoever coordinated Chappelle’s surprise appearance knew how much justified backlash his anti-LGBTQ and particularly anti-trans bullying would draw.”

Phones have been prohibited at every stop on his tour.  I saw him in Houston and it was…

Shut the fuck up trannies and get over it. 99% of the population doesn’t care about your feelings over jokes. They’re just words. Be happy you live in a country that allows you this much of a voice. Also stop going to comedy shows you fucking snowflakes. Chappelle is the GOAT. Deal with it

So you never saw the stand up but youre just going to blindly agree it’s “transphobic” (even though it really really really isn’t), because….? I never use the word “sheep” because I think it’s nauseatingly cliche, but idk man. You do sound like a follower.

Maybe you should watch the shit before forming an opinion? Just a thought.

Jesus Christ you guys are a huge bunch of cry babies. Life is tough, get a helmet and stop thinking anyone needs to gives a flying fuck about your dumb feelings. 

The assholes are all the thin-skinned whiners who form judgements based on hearsay, it’s amazing that you freely admit not watching the content, but are content to say he needs new material.

No, he declared that he stands with cis gendered women. You declared that he stands with people who want to see your friends dead. This is the example of emotional response that I mentioned. 

I’ve watched the special multiple times and I’m not hearing where the offense is coming from. Is it because he claimed to be team TERF? How is that harmful to you or anyone else? You disagree with him, he disagrees with you. We’re entering a territory of sterilization. Actually, he kind of called out what would…
