Dave Chappelle performance canceled after protests | Rush Hour

A Minneapolis venue canceled a Dave Chappelle performance just hours before it was supposed to begin after protesters gathered outside the theatre. Some believe Chappelle told transphobic jokes during a Netflix special and showed up at the venue to work to cancel his show.

Apologizing and bowing to this lunacy is so not the right thing to do. Standing up to them is the right thing!

I just can't believe their are this many people just lost in life. So sad.

[wudly]

These are the types that will say ''Cancel Culture doesn't exist''

[mariacarrington]

These trans human beings must stop this silly behaviour.

I don't care if you're gay straight black or white shorter tall skinnier fat but the fact that everybody has to now live amongst everybody where everybody is so sensitive and only certain people are allowed to have freedoms of speech and others are criticized and canceled is ridiculous. Here's an idea if you don't like a comedian don't freaking listen to him don't try to get him canceled because you're too sensitive to live amongst the rest of us in the common world that doesn't care about you or your feelings. I don't know who this individual is and who was involved in his cancellation but they should be ashamed of themselves because they are literally restricting freedom of speech and punishing someone for their right to speech. There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate learn this or don't leave your house.

Every life matters!! Stop singling out groups and giving them special treatment. If more people would stand up to this nonsense it would stop

[monkeytail]

Stop giving in to them! Expose the nonsense!

[charlesgriffin]

Chapplle is one of the greatest! That woke venue will go broke now!

Blacks & trans are not special. If you don't want to get laughed at, stop acting like clowns.

It was funny how she mentioned at the end that there were only 40 tickets left. Like she was encouraging sales.

@newsnation you have completely misrepresented this report & mixed 2 stories that did not go together. Antifa (white teens from the suburbs & 30 year old spectrum-minded adults) just shut down a black comedian. Let that sink in

A whole town missed out on Dave because less than 1% of the population has a cry over a joke or mabey they cry so much because he tells the truth they don't want to hear.

Lol when I see this foolishness all I thank is fire and brimstone. Not one city will be speared for what they pushing on television, music, fashion, movies in our every day life . Hell have enlarged her self and she preparing to receive the wicked and all there abominations and ungodly actions these people committed against mankind .

I wish you would report on what was actually said by Chapelle .. how is your audience to judge if they don't have the information?

If Dave Chappelle is your biggest enemy, you’re probably gonna be okay..

[lordalcatraz]

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore

The owner and booker of First Ave was so into their Mission Statement and standing with the social justice weirdos that they showed up Varsity Theatre to watch Dave's Show, as seen on Twitter hahaha!

Diverse voices, yet they cancel Dave.
