"Dave opposed affordable housing in his neighborhood" story - which was repeated enough times to make it into the popular consciousness, but also pretty much untrue.

Sure, as long as you ignore the fact that he did it on video… Twice. But yeah, let’s ignore reality and go with the PR spin from his publicist.

Wow, what an entitled asshole. Holy shit.

Yeah well one time he made fun of people I find icky and they meekly said “don’t make fun of us please” so actually Dave is the best comedian to ever have existed and has never done anything wrong. You ever considered that?

(/s duh but just in case lol)
