“I feel f*cked up saying this.
asserted
I → feel → this
It’s scary being a public speaker.
asserted
It → ’ → ?
And I mean, look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered — and I shouldn’t say this publicly — but I feel better.
asserted
I → mean → this
I know I shouldn’t say that, but it’s just a feeling.
asserted
it → know → that
I didn’t ask to feel this way.
asserted
I → ask → way
I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh!'”
asserted
I → drive → mood
Comedians are held to a different standard than other people, mainly because they’re supposed to be joking.
asserted
they → hold → people
It reflected deep, underlying hatred.
asserted
It → reflect → hatred
The supposedly “tolerant,” “optimistic” Left is filled with that hatred.
asserted
Left → fill → hatred
Some members of the Democratic Party don’t feel this way.
asserted
members → feel → Party
But there are also a lot of Democrats who pretend to be uncomfortable with this trash but are, in reality, fine with it.
asserted
who → be → it
There’s a game being played in which many of the pseudo-moderates of the Democratic Party pretend to dislike the radicals, and then promptly work with them to shove the Overton Window — the range of acceptable discourse — far to the left.
asserted
many → ’ → left
Dave Chappelle will hide behind the fact that he’s a comedian because this is the game: Clown nose on, clown nose off.
asserted
this → hide → fact
He’s a political analyst when he doesn’t wish to be taken as a jokester.
asserted
he → ’ → jokester
But the minute he says something controversial, the clown nose is back on.
asserted
nose → say → something
It was all a joke, you see.
asserted
you → see → ?
We can tell the difference between a joke and what is not a joke.
asserted
what → tell → joke
In fact, Chappelle told another joke that same night that’s not getting quite the same play — for a reason.
asserted
that → tell → reason
It’s a bad joke, but it does live in the joke universe.
asserted
it → ’ → universe
“I’m sure Charlie Kirk is looking up at us right now, laughing so hard he can’t breathe.”
asserted
he → ’m → us
Chappelle took that from a joke that Tony Hinchcliffe did during the roast of Kevin Hart back in May.
uncertain
Hinchcliffe → take → May
Right now George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard he can’t breathe,” Hinchcliffe said.
asserted
Hinchcliffe → look → us
This was Chappelle taking that same joke, inserting the name Charlie Kirk for George Floyd, and then telling it.
asserted
Chappelle → take → it
The very fact that Chappelle puts Charlie Kirk, a political activist not arrested or accused of any crime, in the same category as George Floyd — an arrested criminal who experienced excited delirium in a cop car and then died under disputed circumstances — is pretty telling.
asserted
who → put → circumstances
But again, Chappelle’s George Floyd/Tony Hinchcliffe comparison joke is a troll designed to elicit a response from the Right so he can say, “You don’t like free speech.”
asserted
You → design → speech
But it’s the other joke that’s not really a joke.
asserted
that → ’ → ?
Chappelle is obviously perfectly fine seeing conservatives get shot to death.
asserted
conservatives → see → death
Side note to conservatives, because this is something we’ve been dealing with in the conservative movement for decades at this point: Just because a famous person might agree with you on one core issue — say, trans radicalism, the way Chappelle does — doesn’t mean that person is decent, or a thought leader for your side, or worthy of broad respect.
uncertain
person → deal → respect
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan of the “I’ve Had It” podcast were cracking up at a comment about Charlie Kirk’s death.
asserted
I → crack → death
They read, “Dread Moroz says, ‘We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.’”
asserted
We → read → it
That prompted them to laugh and laugh.
asserted
That → prompt → them
The podcast posted an apology.
asserted
podcast → post → apology
There were a bunch of sponsors who dropped them.
asserted
who → be → them
But their fans showed up to defend them.
asserted
fans → show → them
“We laughed at a joke about Charlie Kirk.
asserted
We → laugh → Kirk
It was an insensitive joke, and we should not have laughed.
asserted
we → laugh → ?
We regret it, and we apologize.
asserted
we → regret → it
Whatever our political differences, there’s nothing funny about gun violence.
asserted
differences → ’ → violence
We’ve long supported common-sense gun safety reform,” the two wrote in a post on the show’s Instagram page.
asserted
two → support → page
You don’t want to be shown as supportive of gun violence.
asserted
You → want → violence
