Dave Chappelle’s ‘SNL’ monologue criticised

-

COMEDIAN Dave Chappelle has drawn new criticism for his monologue on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live, as USA AntiDefama­tion League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt argues that the comedian's performanc­e did “not just normalise, but popularise anti-semitism”.

In his stint at this week's Saturday Night Live, host Chappelle took the stage for a lengthy 15-minute monologue, cracking jokes about Kanye West's recent anti-semitic remarks and the rapper's new wave of controvers­y and abandoned business partnershi­ps, reports Variety.

“We shouldn’t expect Dave Chappelle to serve as society's moral compass, but disturbing to see Saturday Night Live not just normalise, but popularise anti-Semitism,” Greenblatt wrote
