Oswalt agreed and the two snapped a photo together that Oswalt later posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CYLfUrXrhod\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">Instagram<\/a> with a caption praising Chappelle\u2019s comedic brilliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinished me set at @mccawhall and got a text from @davechappelle,\u201d he wrote. \u201cCome over to the arena he\u2019s performing in next door and do a guest set. Why not? I waved good-bye to this hell-year with a genius I started comedy with 34 years ago. He works an arena like he\u2019s talking to one person and charming their skin off. Anyway, I ended the year with a real friend and a deep laugh. Can\u2019t ask for much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Oswalt\u2019s gratitude for his fellow comedian\u2019s friendship proved to be short-lived. The next day, after some of his followers accused him of being anti-trans for posing with Chappelle, he apologized, saying, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, truly sorry, that I didn\u2019t consider the hurt this would cause. Or the DEPTH of that hurt. Ugh. So easy to think someone ELSE needs growth and miss the need in yourself. Gonna keep trying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he still affirmed their friendship, he also made a point to distance himself from Chappelle\u2019s views \u2014 implying that he agrees that the jokes the comedy legend told in his Netflix special \u201cThe Closer\u201d were transphobic and harmful to the transgender community:<\/p>\n<p><em>But we also 100% disagree about transgender rights &amp; representation. I support trans peoples\u2019 rights \u2014 ANYONE\u2019S rights \u2014 to live safely in the world as their fullest selves. For all the things he\u2019s helped ME evolve on, I\u2019ll always disagree with where he stands NOW on transgender issues. But I also don\u2019t believe a seeker like him is done evolving, learning. You know someone that long, see the struggles and changes, it\u2019s impossible to cut them off. Impossible not to be hopeful and open and cheer them on \u2026 I\u2019m an LGBTQ ally. I\u2019m a loyal friend. There\u2019s friction in those traits that I need to reconcile myself, and not let cause feels of betrayal in ANYONE else. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oswalt has arguably made more headlines for his political rants on Twitter than his comedy routines in recent years. As The Daily Wire reported, he has frequently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/patton-oswalt-responds-trumps-boy-scout-speech-elliott-hamilton\">sounded<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/patton-oswalt-implodes-after-trump-presser-chase-stephens\">off<\/a> on former President Donald Trump and his supporters and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/samantha-bee-and-patton-oswalt-mock-pro-life-amanda-prestigiacomo\">mocked<\/a> pro-life centers.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/blue-checkmarks-delete-tweets-defaming-covington-ashe-schow\">joined<\/a> an online mob himself, attacking the students from Covington Catholic over erroneous reports that they ridiculed an elderly Native American man during a D.C. field trip. When it was revealed that the reports were incorrect, Oswalt deleted a thread he retweeted that revealed personal information about teen Nicholas Sandmann.<\/p>\n<p>He also posted a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pattonoswalt\/status\/1086691179855400960?s=20\">photo<\/a> of Sandmann alongside the comment, \u201cTHIS leering, privileged little sh**\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pattonoswalt\/status\/1086819003652136960?s=20\">called<\/a> the Covington students a \u201chorde of bland, frightened, forgettable kids who\u2019ll grow up to be bland, frightened, forgotten adult wastes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has never apologized for these posts.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
