Chappelle feuds with Boebert over transgender jokes

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) slammed comedian Dave Chapelle for saying she "weaponized" his jokes about transgender people. "I felt like they were doing a weaponized version of what I was doing. That's not what I was doing," Chappelle told NPR.

Lol! We're not allowed.

Here, for instance, more than one respectful, rational conversation has been summarily removed. The same site that leaves up comments denying the Holocaust prohibits discussion of this topic.

Dave Chapelle did transgender jokes.

Despite how they were received, he meant them as jokes and not as an attack of transgender people.

I know there are people who considered what he was saying to be an attack, and I respect their opinion.

I can see their reasoning, but still believe it wasn't meant to be.

What Boebert wrote was an attack.

There wasn't no other way to interpret the statement.

I understand Dave being upset at her.

You're on the wrong thread.

Go find a dead Palestinian children thread to pollute with your genocide supporting garbage.

It's like the Golden Greek John Tolas vs. Freddie Blassie.

Well, I comments with a link to one of his vids and the entire post was deleted.

I've got the worlds tiniest violin for Chapelle, but the irony is funny.
