The First Amendment gives him the right to free speech. It does not guarantee him the right to put on comedy shows and get paid for them.

Words and actions have consequences. It's about time that bigots and conservatives (and yes, he is both) get shown that.

The only thing I don't like about this article is it calls his bigoted shit "jokes". No. They're not jokes. The only people finding his transphobic shit "funny" are the same people who think Fucker Carlson is "funny".

Real sorry, Chappelle.... NOT.
