Dave Chappelle has never hesitated to touch the third rail, knowing that his unassailable craftsmanship can navigate him through plenty of thorny subjects (abject trans hate, excluded).

Chappelle told a San Francisco crowd on February 13 that producers on the show warned him away from talking about transgender people and Gaza. According to a review in SFGate, Chappelle mentioned the moment in passing and failed to elaborate.
