It’s getting more and more difficult for comedians to tell jokes because of political correctness.
Dave Chappelle was literally assaulted onstage after being figuratively assaulted for years by leftists.
And Chappelle’s attacker revealed the stunning thing that motivated him.
Star Hollywood actor Will Smith set a terrible precedent when he slapped comedian Chris Rock in the middle of the Oscars.
Smith had an absurd reaction to Rock telling a harmless joke about his wife, fellow actress Jada Pinkett Smith.
Several comedians warned that it would inspire copycats, and Isaiah Lee, the man who tackled Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, admitted that Will Smith’s meltdown inspired his assault on Chappelle.
Lee said during a jailhouse interview, “That’s not right what [Chris Rock] said about his wife, calling her GI Jane.”
He also said that Rock’s joke was “tasteless” and Smith was simply “standing up for his wife.”
Thanks to far-left Los Angeles prosecutor George Gascón, Lee avoided felony charges for the Chappelle incident despite having a knife in his possession.
Gascón tried to puff out his chest and say that his office would prosecute Lee for another attack, this time an attempted murder charge related to stabbing his roommate months earlier.
Lee was only tracked down for the attempted murder charge because of the Chappelle attack and a lot of outrage to Gascón’s soft-on-crime policies.
Lee’s get-out-jail-free gambit appears to be to play the LGBT card.
In his interview, Lee revealed, “I identify as bisexual… and I wanted [Chappelle] to know what he said was triggering…I wanted him to know that next time, he should consider first running his material by people it could affect.”
Lee also admitted the attack was in part motivated in promoting his fledgling rap career.
He added, “I’m not going to lie…it was a bit of clout-chasing…In Hollywood, you know they say there is no such thing as bad publicity. I rap about these things in my music and knew it would get attention.”
Gascón, who was backed by George Soros, has let Los Angeles spiral out of control in no time at all.
He’s not even popular among Hollywood liberals who always fawn over the most ‘woke’ politicians.
Raging progressive actress Rosanna Arquette even supports a recall effort against the lax district attorney.

However, Gascón has his fans among criminals.
Convicted murderer Luis Angel Hernandez said during a recorded prison phone call conversation, “I’m going to get that n****’s name on my face. That’s a champ right there…F***ing Gascón…That’s the n**** right there, bro. He’s making historic changes for all of us, bro.”
The progressives are bringing back the ineffective soft-on-crime policies of the 1970s, and the results are a predictable disaster.
