Like I don't wish stuff like that on my worst enemy." WELCH DOUBLES DOWN ON TPUSA FEUD, CALLS GROUP 'LOSERS' AFTER LAUGHING AT JOKE ABOUT KILLING CHARLIE KIRK AGAIN Some of his co-hosts noted that the clip of Chappelle's comments was released without any additional context.
Key points
- PETE DAVIDSON SPARKS BACKLASH AFTER EXPLICIT JOKE ABOUT SLAIN CHARLIE KIRK DURING NETFLIX ROAST Fox News Digital reached out to Charlamagne's and Chappelle's representatives for comment.
- "It just sounded like he made an observation — at least from what that clip just played, that it was just like he felt better after Charlie Kirk got shot and killed," Charlamagne said.
- In an interview with Fox News Digital, TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet made similar comments, acknowledging people's freedom of speech but encouraging a level of decorum.
Radio host Charlamagne tha God criticized comedian Dave Chappelle's joke about the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk on Monday.
Additional details
- In his comments, Chappelle described not only feeling "better" after Kirk's death but also experiencing unexpected high spirits after the news.
- Despite rules barring cell phones from the Madison Square Garden show, a video circulating on social media on Friday showed Chappelle appearing to make the remarks during his "Karmageddon" tour stop in New York City.
- In response to the viral video, TPUSA pointed Fox News Digital to Erika Kirk's statement on X, in which she wrote that treating the destruction of human life as a punchline is "disgusting." "A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay.
- And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but, I feel better," Chappelle said.
- So yeah, you have the freedom to, you know, joke and talk about whatever you want to joke and talk about, but personally I don't want to deal with the energy of that.
