<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}">Some people who attended a Friday night comedy show where <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dave-chappelle">Dave Chappelle</a> made a surprise appearance seem to have checked their senses of humor at the door.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}">The comic was roasted on Twitter for telling what some considered a &#8220;transphobic&#8221; joke, which was was reportedly a fairly mild quip about a very serious situation. Chappelle was attacked onstage earlier this month by a man wielding <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-the-knife-gun-isaiah-lee-allegedly-used-to-attack-comedian-dave-chappelle">a knife made to look like a gun</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_378140" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-378140" class="size-medium wp-image-378140" src="https://editorial.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/knifegun-2-300x163.jpg" alt="Here's The Knife-Gun Alleged Isiah Lee Allegedly Used To Attack Comedian Dave Chappelle" width="300" height="163" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/knifegun-2-300x163.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/knifegun-2.jpg 767w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-378140" class="wp-caption-text">LAPD Handout</p></div>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}">Chappelle joked that the guy who tackled him<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> was carrying &#8220;a gun that identified as a </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">knife,&#8221; according to witnesses who were at the show, which was headlined by comedian John Mulaney at The Ohio State University&#8217;s Schottenstein Center.</span></p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}">No phones or recording devices were permitted at the show, so the first clues about what Chappelle had said were from Twitter users blasting the 48-year-old standup star for saying something deeply offensive. Several outlets reported on the outrage without relaying what Chappelle had actually said.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}">&#8220;My favorite part of tonight was when dave chappelle ambushed us at the john mulaney show, told a bunch of transphobic jokes, a massive stadium of people laughed, and then john mulaney hugged him at the end,&#8221; one Twitter user <a tabindex="0" href="https://twitter.com/testosteronejew/status/1527832790565376001" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}">wrote</a>.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}">But when the joke made its way onto the internet, Twitter users wondered what all the fuss was about.</p>
<p data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}"><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">&#8220;So apparently the ‘horrendously transphobic </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">joke’ </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">that Dave </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Chappelle</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> said when on stage recently was that he was ‘attacked by a trans man that had a </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">knife</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> that identified as a gun.’ That&#8217;s barely even a throwaway Dad </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">joke</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> and people are out to Lynch him,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/GaryLazer_Eyes/status/1528025141204090887?s=20&amp;t=NX4hxtTfI7YCm5cdSYl77g">tweeted Gary Later Eyes</a>.<br />
</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Apparently the joke Dave Chappelle said that is causing people to fall on their fainting couches is him saying he was attacked with a gun that identified as a knife.</p>

<p>The attack at the Hollywood Bowl on May 3 was no laughing matter. The alleged attacker has been identified as Isaiah Lee, 23, of Los Angeles, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-who-allegedly-attacked-dave-chappelle-onstage-identified">reported</a> by The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Sources <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dave-chappelle-attacker-wont-be-charged-assault-deadly-weapon-da-office-says">told</a> The Los Angeles Times that Lee had a knife hidden inside a replica gun that night, but authorities say that the weapon was in a bag. Apparently, since Lee &#8220;only&#8221; tackled Chappelle, Los Angelas District Attorney George Gascón declined to seek a felony charge against Lee, sparking outrage.</p>
<p>“It’s a travesty of justice that Gascón is refusing to prosecute this case as a felony,” Chappelle&#8217;s lawyer, Gabriel Colwell, <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/dave-chappelle-is-not-happy-hollywood-bowl-attack-gascon/2888881/">told</a> the New York Post. “The city attorney, who filed the case, is doing his job but DA Gascón should also do his job and charge this as a felony.”</p>
