At Madison Square Garden, Dave Chappelle told the crowd he has felt better since Charlie Kirk was murdered, despite Kirk having publicly defended him after he was attacked on stage in 2022. David Hahn argues the remark is not brave comedy but a capitulation to fashionable opinion, and that the right needs something more than indignation in response.
