"Conservatives love making edgy jokes": Nick Fuentes reacts to outrage over Dave Chappelle making jokes about Charlie Kirk's assassination

Nick Fuentes has shared his thoughts on Dave Chappelle's jokes about Charlie Kirk. He said it was 'ragebait' and also pointed out that conservatives make similar jokes about the left.

Dave Chappelle made some jokes about Charlie Kirk during his show at Madison Square Garden on November 7. A fan who attended the show captured the video, and it has gone viral on social media. It has also led to backlash against the comedian, including from Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk.

However, Nick Fuentes has urged people not to get rage-baited by Chappelle. He said on his show on November 11:

"He's just rage-baiting us. Do you understand you're giving him the reaction he wants? When Dave Chappelle says, 'I'm glad Charlie Kirk died'. Like, you're giving him the reaction he wants when you have a meltdown about it."

He added:

"I'm gonna be honest, it's not gonna win me any favour from you guys. Conservatives love making edgy jokes about everything. A Holocaust and George Floyd, LOL... Conservatives love making edgy jokes that offend the left, about tr*nnies, about blacks, about illegals; we're now gonna pretend that was insensitive?"

The far-right podcaster added that the administration often 'taunts the left'. He added that Chappelle's joke was offensive, but said:

"Well, that's comedy. And you can't have it both ways. You can't say, 'We like comedy with no rules. We like comedy that isn't politically correct. We don't care if it offends people'. And then a comedian says, 'LOL, Charlie Kirk's dead', and then go, 'Cancel this guy'."

He asserted that the administration and conservatives had made many such jokes and added that it was just rage bait.

What did Dave Chappelle say about Charlie Kirk? Erika Kirk slammed the comedian

Charlie was fatally shot during a Turning Point USA event on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. A man named Tyler Robinson was arrested for the alleged shooting, and his trial will take place in 2028.

Meanwhile, on November 7, Dave Chappelle joked about Kirk's death during his show at Madison Square Garden. In a fan-uploaded video, he said:

“I feel f**ked up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but, I feel better. I know I shouldn’t say that, but it’s just a feeling. I didn’t ask to feel this way. I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh’!”

This led to backlash against Chappelle from various people in the media and on social media. Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow, also shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), slamming the comedian, as she wrote:

"To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting."

She added that her husband was "killed in an act of political violence". She added that laughing at it "threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together."
