Caitlyn Jenner Stands With Dave Chapelle...AND SAYS CANCEL CULTURE NEEDS TO GO...AND GUESS WHO MAD?

Caitlyn Jenner is the latest celeb to defend comedian Dave Chappelle following backlash from the trans community over his perceived transphobic comments in the special “The Closer.” The former “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star and failed Cali gubernatorial candidate was responding to a video Chappelle, 48, shared on his Instagram, in which the comic claimed that corporate interests were trying to stifle his freedom of expression. “Dave Chappelle is 100% right,” the 72-year-old gold medalist tweeted. “This isn’t about the LGBTQ movement. It’s about woke cancel culture run amok, trying to silence free speech.” Jenner added, “We must never yield or bow to those who wish to stop us from speaking our minds.” Her statement divided social media users, with some accusing the former Olympic decathlete of speaking from a position of privilege. “It’s quite an utterly privileged position you’re in to say you’re not affected by the blatantly transphobic things David said in this special, Caitlyn,” fumed one detractor on Twitter. “We’re not cancelling David, rather we’re holding him accountable for what he said.”
