More significantly, Chappelle is whining about having a show canceled when that show was canceled due to massive backlash from the local community where the venue was located. It had nothing to do with anyone in the Government censoring him. The local community was outraged that the venue would give a platform to a virulently transphobic asshole. That's not shutting him down, it's making it clear he offends the community's values.
