“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” the comedian Dave Chappelle quipped on Saturday at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the first event of its kind in Saudi Arabia. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.”
They irony of that statement while doing a comedy show where they literally have a list of things you’re not allowed to talk about and also hacked up a journalist for speaking.
I think that’s the point that he’s trying to make. You’re not allowed to joke about things here either, and we had a president who was known as the Deporter in Chief, had the most drone strikes on Muslim countries, started the most wars of any US president, and had a War on Whistleblowers. And now we have Trump.
