But then, if he hadn\u2019t, he wouldn\u2019t have been able to publish a screed to virtue signal about how uber-woke and \u201ctolerant\u201d he is.<\/p>\n<p> This is far, far from the only time that Dave Chappelle has triggered the left.<\/p>\n<p>  Back in 2021, he became the object of leftist ire after his Netflix comedy special was found to contain some jokes about radical transgenderism that the left called \u201ctransphobic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> In his special \u201cThe Closer,\u201d Chappelle broke with the far left and proclaimed that you are either a male or a female and you can\u2019t simply \u201cidentify\u201d as the opposite sex.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cGender is a fact. Every human being in this room, every human being on earth, had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on earth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p> Naturally, that sent the left into a frenzy and spurred trans activists who were employees of Netflix to try and get his special deleted from the online streaming service.<\/p>\n<p>  Chappelle offered to sit down with the activists to talk things out, but they really weren\u2019t much interested in dialogue.<\/p>\n<p> He also sided with \u201cHarry Potter\u201d author J.K. Rowling in her fight against transgender activists by self-identifying\u00a0as \u201cTeam TERF\u201d (or \u201ctrans-exclusionary radical feminist\u201d \u2014 a term for feminists who refuse to bow to transgender propaganda).<\/p>\n<p> Ultimately, Chappelle\u2019s advocacy for women made him a target, and during a May 2022 show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, a man ran up on stage and physically attacked the comedian.<\/p>\n<p> But he has been undaunted.<\/p>\n<p>  Whatever the merits of Dave Chappelle\u2019s career, he is 100 percent right about how San Francisco has gone downhill.<\/p>\n<p> As the New York Post reported, 30 percent of the nation\u2019s homeless population is in California, with many of them in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p> According to Fox News, while violent crime has remained at a relatively steady level in the city over the last few years, murders have ticked upward and crimes against property and businesses have skyrocketed.<\/p>\n<p> However, Charles \u201cCully\u201d Stimson, Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow and a former prosecutor in San Francisco, warned that crime is worse than the official statistics claim because thanks to lax rates of prosecution, many residents no longer even bother to report crimes to the feckless police department because they know nothing will get done about it.<\/p>\n<p>  While the San Francisco Chronicle keeps disgorging its high dudgeon on comedians, the real problems of the city will continue to be swept under the rug.<\/p>\n<p>    Tags:<\/p>\n<p> American left, California, celebrity, Democrat policy, Democrats, entertainment, Hollywood, humor, liberal media, San Francisco, US news<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Warner Todd Huston has been writing editorials and news since 2001 but started his writing career penning articles about U.S. history back in the early 1990s.
