Dave Chappelle Feels Sorry For ‘Poor White’ Trump Voters

Dave Chappelle explains why he pities "poor white" Trump voters in his latest stand-up routine.

The comedian — who has a new stand-up special coming to Netflix later this month — says during one segment of the routine that he felt sorry for a demographic of President Trump supporters that he spoke to in line to vote last year because they told him Trump was going to fight for them.

"I'm standing there, thinking in my mind, 'You dumb motherf---ers. You are poor. He's fighting for me,'" Chappelle says in the bit, earning a laugh from the audience.

Chappelle added that there wasn't a bad person in the bunch, describing them as "decent folk," but said they were saying "naive, poor, white people things" as they waited in line.

"I've never had a problem with white people ever in my life, but, full disclosure, poor whites are my least favorites," he began the segment. "We've got a lot of trouble out of them."

The stand-up bit, which was released as a preview for his new Netflix special "Equanimity," surfaced online the same day that Congress approved Trump's tax plan, which will introduce a 40% tax reduction for major corporations in America.

Chappelle memorably appeared on "Saturday Night Live" last November following the presidential election and said he was going give Trump "a chance."

He addressed those comments in August on "The Late Show," telling host Stephen Colbert, "It’s not like I wanted to give him a chance that night."

Chappelle then declined to directly answer Colbert when asked how he feels about Trump now, but said the public is "getting an education (on) the presidency."

"I don’t know that I’ve ever heard in just popular discourse people discussing ethics this much,” he said.

Chappelle's latest stand-up special hits Netflix on Dec. 31 and serves as his third production for the streaming service this year. He released the first two in March.
