Dave Chappelle Says He's Not Sorry He Tore Into Candace Owens But Apologizes for Calling Her

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

‘Articulate’

Dave Chappelle, fresh off reviving his habit of publicly nailing the Radiohead classic “Creep,” discusses the likelihood of an apology to Candace Owens in a new episode of his recently launched podcast with Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey.

At the top of the episode, which also features Jon Stewart, Chappelle brought the topic of an Owens apology to his co-hosts.

“There is no possible way that I owe Candace Owens an apology, is there?” Chappelle asked, spurring agreement from the Midnight Miracle panel that he does not.

In his surprise-released Netflix special 8:46 last year, Chappelle spoke at length about Owens, particularly in response to her widely condemned comments about the murder of George Floyd. In the special, Chappelle called Owens an “articulate idiot” and pushed back against her attempts to convince American viewers that Floyd was a “criminal anyway.”

2. I was unfamiliar with Ms Owens (I try not to be too imbued with whack job theorists) . . .

so I Googled her. The third tweet cited was:

Somebody told me that Rachel Maddow and Alex Jones are the same person, flipped.
Rachel Maddow tells her audience conspiracy theories, but makes them sound like the truth.
Alex Jones tells the truth, but makes it sound like a conspiracy theory.

That's all I need to read to validate my willful ignorance of her work.

3. A few weeks ago I came across an interview of Candace Owens and forgetting who she was,

began listening. At first she seemed okay, but soon enough the idiot part became apparent and I remembered. "Articulate idiot" is a good description.
