Comedic icon Dave Chappelle has once again addressed the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In his latest Netflix special, “The Unstoppable,” released on December 20, the 52-year-old comedian reflects on the shocking impact of Kirk’s death, describing him as “an internet personality” and “a wholesome white guy,” according to coverage by USA Today.

Chappelle’s special, which spans a gripping 75 minutes, delves into the chilling reality of public discourse in America. “This is another reason it’s hard to talk in America,” Chappelle remarks, expressing his profound dismay. “To see Charlie Kirk get murdered that way, I’m gonna be honest, I was shook.”

Charlie Kirk, a prominent figure at 31, met his untimely demise when he was fatally shot during a speaking engagement at a college campus in Utah on September 10. The incident sent shockwaves through both the conservative community and the broader public.

The alleged perpetrator, Tyler Robinson, aged 22, faces serious charges, including aggravated murder, in connection with the death of the Turning Point USA founder. The case continues to unfold, as it provokes further conversations about safety and free speech in the nation.

The shooting suspect, Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with multiple offenses including aggravated murder in the Turning Point USA founder’s death.

Chappelle – who previously spoke out about Kirk at the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia in October – also brought up early reports that said the bullets used to kill Kirk were inscribed with transgender messages – reports that were later dialed back, per CNN.

The comic made light that he, too, could be a target, per Entertainment Weekly.

He was, of course, referencing anti-transgender remarks he’s made in the past,

‘When all the information was still shoddy, they came out, they were like, “Apparently there were transgender messages inscribed on the bullet.” I was like, “Oh no! I’m dead as fried chicken!”‘

The stand-up comic then trounced on comparisons of Kirk to civil rights leader Martin Luther King, who was assassinated by a sniper’s gunshot in 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. 

‘And the whites were quick to say this. They said, “Charlie Kirk is this generation’s Martin Luther King.” No, he’s not,’ Chappelle said.

He added: ‘That’s a reach. You know, they both got murdered in a terrible fashion, they both got shot in the neck, but that’s about where those similarities end.’

Chappelle continued: ‘Charlie Kirk is a mother—in’ internet personality. By design, fundamentally, he can’t function like Dr. King. Internet n—-s are negative because they have to be, ’cause nobody will engage them unless they say s— that makes them upset. That’s Charlie Kirk.’

Then he quizzed the crowd by asking: ‘Could you imagine if Dr. King was behaving like Charlie Kirk? “Smash that like button and subscribe! Follow me for more content like this! I believe all Black people should be free — change my mind.”‘

This isn’t the first time Chappelle has taken pointed jabs at Kirk’s assassination.

On October 1, the four-time SNL host used his set at the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia to pick on Kirk.

‘Right now, in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,’ Chappelle told the 6,000-strong crowd, according to Variety.

‘I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.’
