During a show in Los Angeles, a spectator jumped on stage and attacked Dave Chappelle. The assailant was armed with a knife disguised as a handgun. The weapon appeared to be a replica of a handgun with a concealed knife blade inside.
The attacker, Isaiah Lee was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and held on $30,000 bail after a trip to the ER. Chappelle was left unharmed.
It didn’t take long for The View to link the attack to former President Donald Trump.
Whoopi Goldberg commented on the rise in violent attacks, particularly in Hollywood – Co-host Joy Behar responded by saying, “There are the things that contribute to what’s going on – the pandemic, the opioid crisis, the fact that Trump was out there saying things like, ‘Just knock the hell out of them, I promise you I’ll pay for the legal fees’ when he had a heckler. I mean, there are many factors involved here.”
A guest, Lindsey Granger countered the point by saying, “This is not a political thing, come on. I know you want to wrap it all under politics, but this is really about security.” He went on to explain that despite not being a right-wing person, Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock at the Oscars.
It seemed like while Trump was in office, all the left-wing media wanted to do was get rid of him, but even after two years of absence, they can’t resist talking about 45.
