During an early October screening of his documentary \u201cUntitled,\u201d Chappelle addressed his critics and detractors. As The Daily Wire reported:\u201cIf this is what being cancelled is about, I love it,\u201d Chappelle said on Thursday, according to Deadline. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to tell you, except I\u2019m a bad motherf***er.\u201dChappelle left his critics alone for most of his speech, however. \u201cThis is the kindness conspiracy,\u201d Chappelle said, encouraging Americans to \u201ctrust one another\u201d to overcome partisanship.The comedian did take another shot later in the night, dismissing the social media-fed outrage over his jokes. \u201cF*** Twitter, this is real life,\u201d Chappelle said to a \u201cbig roar\u201d of approval from the audience, according to Deadline.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
