“I’ve never had a problem with white people ever in my life, but, full disclosure, the poor whites are my least favorites,” Chappelle joked. “We’ve gotten a lot of trouble out of them. And I’d never seen so many of them up close.”

“I felt sorry for them,” he said, when talking about poor white Trump voters. “I know the game now. I know the rich white people call poor white people trash. And the only reason I know that, is because I made so much money last year the rich whites told me they say it at a cocktail party.”

“And I stood with them in line, like all of us Americans are required to do in a democracy … and I listened to them … say naive, poor white people things,” he continued, like how they hoped Trump would go to Washington, D.C. and fight for them once he gets elected.

“I’m standing there, thinking in my mind, ‘You dumb motherf**ker. You are poor. He’s fighting for me,'” Chappelle said.

Earlier this year, the comedian released two other stand-up specials from his personal vault on the site titled, “The Age of Spin: Dave Chappelle Live at the Hollywood Palladium” and “Deep in the Heart of Texas: Dave Chappelle Live at Austin City Limits.”

Both were hugely successful, according to another report.
