So what did he actually say?

“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle told an audience of 6,000, according to The New York Times. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”

Well, that sounds… accurate. Doesn’t excuse the other things he’s said, but… yea.

Did you see the contract he signed? “Easier to talk here” is just factually incorrect.

If you’re looking for a factually correct comic, Carlin’s dead.

Sorry to tell you but Carlin was also part of “the club” He was way too rich to be one of us, even if he made money pretending to be.

Okay, but you’re also not in the club. At best you’re the hired help.
