So what did he actually say?

“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle told an audience of 6,000, according to The New York Times. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”

Well, that sounds... accurate. Doesn't excuse the other things he's said, but... yea.

Edit: I stand by the first part of my comment. I was not paying enough attention to the second half ("it's easier to talk here..."). That part, not so much.

Bad title. He's criticizing the state of free speech in America citing the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation and people fired / cancelled over Charlie Kirk speech.

He's right. Everyone here is angry that KSA is a fascist regime, and the most important speech in the world is being able to make Winnie the Pooh references.

That comedians are able to go to somewhere they have the freedom to joke about America is more freedom for relevant/funny material. You can have enough comedy material without resorting to joking about the comedy club owner's dismemberment murder accusations, and guess what, if you did, you'd be thrown out (or worse) of "land of the free" clubs too.

Die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I mean ... a TV host just got fired/scathed/re-hired for talking about the fallout of a murder at a political rally.

So ... maybe the USA is not doing well with free speech.
