just to add to the plethora of responses: it rather defies belief that he's purely "joking" when, among other things, he's taken photos with anti-trans legislators like Lauren Boebert and let them frame those photos in this manner:

    He said during his standup act at Capital One Arena in Washington that he granted the photo request by Boebert for a human moment to bridge the political divide but felt “blindsided” by her, according to a progressive influencers’ blog.

    “It’s a shame she tricked me,” Chappelle said, according to Call to Activism. “I had two tickets to ’Beetlejuice’ and I was going to give her one!”

    this is, and i mean this respectfully, one of the weakest condemnations imaginable if he's actually got a problem with her doing this. this has zero teeth. it's also literally Lauren Boebert, a person who has made her name being a freakish culture warrior--what did he think she was going to do?
