Dave Chappelle refuses to apologize to triggered trans activists: 'I said what I said'

Comedian Dave Chappelle commented on the controversy surrounding his latest Netflix special, "The Closer."

Chappelle said that while he would be willing to meet with Netflix employees who staged a walkout in protest of the special, he would not cave to "anybody's demands."

Chappelle made it clear that he stood by his comments, stating "I said what I said."

"It’s been said in the press that I was invited to speak to the transgender employees of Netflix and I refused. That is not true—if they had invited me I would have accepted it, although I am confused about what we would be speaking about,” Chappelle said. "I said what I said, and boy, I heard what you said. My God, how could I not? You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix. It seems like I’m the only one that can’t go to the office anymore."
