Dave Chappelle says he was ‘shook’ by killing of Charlie Kirk in new Netflix special
Dave Chappelle has said he was “shook” by the killing of Charlie Kirk.
In his new Netflix stand-up special, Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable, the comedian said that it is “hard to talk in America”, pointing to the assassination of the conservative activist in September.
“Because if you talk for a living and see Charlie Kirk get murdered that way, I’m gonna be honest, I was shook,” he said.
He also bluntly shut down comparisons between Kirk and Martin Luther King Jr, calling it a “reach”.
“You know, they both got murdered in a terrible fashion. They both got shot in the neck. But that’s about where those similarities ended.”
