Comedian Dave Chappelle had some interesting thoughts on the upcoming presidential election, during a recent New York appearance.
The comedian — set to host Saturday Night Live next weekend — crushed Hillary clinton while entertaining the crowd at The Cutting Room in New York.
Onlookers were reportedly shocked as Chappelle bashed Clinton for much of the 60-minute set according to The Observer.
He was particularly agitated about what he believes was Clinton’s role in leaking a surreptitiously recorded conversation between Republican nominee Donald J. Trump and TV personality Billy Bush. “What I heard on that tape was gross,” Chappelle said. “But the way I got to hear it was even more gross. You know that came directly from Hillary.” He stated this had put him off a candidate he had already known was “not right.” He likened voting for her to a hypothetical situation of actress Halle Berry breaking wind in his face during sexual relations. “I’m still going to go for it,” he said. “But I wish she hadn’t done that thing.”
Chappelle shocked the crowd even more when he defended Trump — referring to the GOP candidate as ‘resilient’ in the face of several obstacles.
“That would have devastated anybody else.” Chappelle added that Trump’s handling of the debate immediately following the controversy had won him over. Referring to Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz’s hostile questioning, he said, “Something about this was backward. A gay white man and a white woman asking a multi-billionaire how he knows the system is rigged and insisting it’s not. Does that sound right to you? It didn’t seem right to me. And here’s how you know Trump is the most gangsta candidate ever. They asked him how he knows the system is rigged and he said, ‘Because I take advantage of it.’ He may as well have flashed his membership card for the Illuminati right then.”
Chappelle went on to say that he “didn’t feel good” about voting for Clinton — stating that “She’s going to be on a coin someday.”
This just got even more interesting.
