Dave Chapelle has a message for deplorables..
Chappelle, who lives in an Ohio county that went for Trump in 2016, joked about poor whites being his least favorite group because of the trouble theyve recently caused, alluding to their support for the president:
I looked them right in their coal-smeared faces. And to my surprise, you know what I didnt see? I didnt see one deplorable face in that group. I saw some angry faces and some determined faces, but they felt like decent folk.
Chappelle previously said he suspected Trump would win based on his conversations with neighbors, fans and others outside of the liberal coastal metropolises that backed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In his latest special, he said he began to feel sorry for low-income white Americans because he knows how they are viewed by wealthy elites from places like Manhattan.
"I know that rich white people call poor white people trash. And the only reason I know that is because I made so much money last year, the rich whites told me they say it at a cocktail party.
And I stood with them in line, like all of us Americans are required to do in a democracy nobody skips the line to vote and I listened to them. I listened to them say naive poor white people things: Man, Donald Trumps gonna go to Warshington, and hes gonna fight for us.
Im standing there thinking in my mind: You are poor. Hes fighting for me.
