Dave Chappelle Gives Rave Review of Michelle Wolf's WHCD Set: 'I Thought It Was Beautiful'
On Monday night, two days after comedian Michelle Wolf delivered a divisive roast routine during the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, several comedians—from Judd Apatow to Jimmy Kimmel to Wolf’s former employer Seth Meyers—have come to her defense.
Now, you can add Dave Chappelle’s name to the mix.
Speaking to PBS Newshour, the legendary stand-up comic voiced his support for Wolf and criticized the backlash she’s received from those on the left and right—including a number of journalists who ostensibly wish to maintain a degree of access to the administration, like The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell, who either misinterpreted or intentionally misrepresented Wolf’s jokes against White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
“I really respected what I saw. I don’t know who those people are that she—she can’t say that to them, ‘cause they offend people all the time,” Chappelle said of the Trump administration’s pushback against Wolf. “And I think that for many people, not everybody who watched it, but for many people, it’s cathartic to watch that woman speak truth to power like that.”
