ToggleIn a TikTok video, Chappelle made it clear that she would not be voting for Trump, as she pushed back on her initial statements and called on people to understand the meaning of what she was saying.
Chappelle then said: “If you come to my show, if you read all of my interviews, if you really know anything about me and what I stand for, you know this is not lip service. This is not virtue signaling. My actions have always paved the way for my projects.”
In addition to her passion for LGBTQ+ rights, Chappelle is also a vocal supporter of Palestine and has previously spoken out against the US government's support for Israel.
“I chose some poems by Palestinian women,” she explained. “I was trying to do it as tastefully as possible because I just wanted to shout. I had to find something that was tasteful, precise and meaningful, and not make it all about me and my feelings.”
