Dave Chappelle answers 'loaded question' about America with blunt message for Trump

Comedy legend Dave Chappelle told President Donald Trump to back off on his threats against the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio.

“Mr. Trump, please leave those Haitians in Springfield alone. We love them,” Chappelle, who lives a short drive from the city, said on CNN on Friday. “We love the Haitians.”

Trump made the community a flashpoint during the 2024 election, falsely accusing them of eating pets and vowing to deport them. A Supreme Court ruling this week allows him to end their temporary protected status and opens the door for deporting migrants from Haiti and Syria who have been here legally with that status.

Chappelle’s defense of the Haitian migrants came during CNN’s “Independence Eve” coverage, a New-Year’s-Eve-style celebration hosted by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.
