Comedian Dave Chappelle felt “tricked” after Republican Colorado lawmaker Lauren Boebert used a selfie with him to make an anti-trans message on Twitter.
Chappelle was reportedly not pleased to be associated with Boebert’s message and expressed his disappointment during his standup act at DC’s Capital One Arena.
He had granted the photo request as a human moment to bridge the political divide, but felt blindsided. (Trending: Greta Thunberg Caught on Video Going Full Anti-Semite)

“It’s a shame she tricked me,” Chappelle said.
Adding, “I had two tickets to ’Beetlejuice” and I was going to give her one!”
Kevin Baron from Politico, wrote on X that the comedian “made clever wink-nod jokes about his history of trans jokes and said something like, ‘Just when I thought we were past that, she dragged me back in!’” at his D.C. show.
Boebert’s spokesperson responded by stating that Chappelle “can be ticked all he wants. That’s the reality of the situation. There are only two genders.”
