John Mulaney is usually loved by everyone, but right now – he gets struck … all because he gave Dave Chappelle open to him, and the guy told “anti-trans” jokes.
Here’s the deal … John had a comedy show on Friday night in Columbus, OH – where the phones were locked in a bag so no one could record – and people who have since gathered on social media said DC was a surprise guest. who made the series before John came out.
my favorite tonight was when Dave Chappelle ambushed us at the John Mulaney Show, told a bunch of transphobic jokes, the huge stadium laughed and then john mulaney hugged him at the end.

Many of these people report being ambushed because of Dave’s presence, especially when he claimed to have described what they characterize with transphobic / homophobic jokes.
The argument is that these paying customers came to see JM – not Dave – and many of them are either part of the LGBT gang or consider themselves allies… and say they would never have bought tickets if they had known Chape would arrive.
John Mulaney is shit because he didn’t care about the many trans-members of his audience who had to cope with Chapelle’s unnecessary transphobic tiracy, which he calls jokes. Can trans people breathe? ? To anyone who felt insecure and laughed at

Of course, this all has its roots controversy over his Netflix specials“The Closer,” which some have said is transphobic – although DC denies it, and the streamer caught him.
As for what exactly was said to be transphobic (in the minds of these users) … you would have a hard time finding anyone who really would have detailed the cracks, but someone did it in the end. The supposedly harmful joke concerned the stage and weapon / knife he was on.
“I mean, it wasn’t a gun, it was a knife! A gun that recognizes a knife?”
Then he stopped, smiled a little, and continued quickly.– The homophobic joke was that he said “maybe you’re gay, I don’t know, there’s nothing wrong with that, if that’s the case.”

Dave apparently said something about the effect … it was a knife identified as a weapon that some saw as a reference to fluency in sex – and for sure, that’s a fair estimate.
He moved on from there – this looks after laughing – and then joked about a couple of members of the audience he thought were gay … adding that there was nothing wrong with that. Apparently that’s all that was said … but it’s got people in your arms.
We say this … Dave seems to be obsessed with joking about trans issues – he did so during his Hollywood Bowl series a few weeks ago … and even said something about the alleged attacker, Isaiah Leejoking that it was a “trans-man” after he was intervened.
As for John, he is said to have hugged Dave … but has said nothing about the controversy that has just broken out. He’s pretty private – don’t hold your breath in front of the statement.
