Comedians Dave Chappelle and Jon Stewart are currently on a joint headlining comedy tour. During their stop in London ahead of two back-to-back performances at the Royal Albert Hall, the pair did an interview with CNN International journalist Christiane Amanpour where they discussed Donald Trump, Louis C.K., Bill Cosby and more.
In regards to Trump, Chappelle spoke on his hateful rhetoric and how Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election doesn’t dismiss the reality that America has and continues to be racist.
“I would not even name the era after him….He’s not making the wave, he’s surfing it,” Chappelle said. “All he does is sing those people’s greatest hits. ‘Build the Wall,’ all these things we’ve heard before, he just sings all the songs. He’s the only one that’s been brash enough to do it.”
