A group of Dave Chappelle fans came out in support of the comedian at a rally organised by trans rights activists against his controversial new special The Closer.
She also revealed that Chappelle turned down her invitation to have an open, honest conversation about the special at the rally.
While employees and allies chanted “Trans Lives Matter” and “Transphobia Is No Joke”, the Chappelle contingent retorted with “We Like Jokes”.
“This isn’t an instance of cancel culture because I’ve invited Dave Chappelle to have a dialogue with us,” Marie Preston said.
