Dave Chappelle Endorses Andrew Yang, by Mark Erickson

The Yang Gang grew larger with Tuesday’s endorsement from comedian Dave Chappelle!

The campaign also announced that Mr. Chappelle will perform two shows in the early primary state of South Carolina later this month, which will benefit the campaign. The shows will be in Columbia on January 29 and North Charleston on January 30.  Chappelle joins actor Ken Jeong and actor/singer/rapper Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino with the endorsement.  One of Chappelle’s funniest skits in my opinion, was “The Racial Draft”:

Mr. Yang did not participate in Tuesday’s debate as the DNC once again pushed its thumb on the scale.  According to the campaign, the DNC cherry picked polls that showed Mr. Yang did not receive at least a 5% tally of potential voters that supported him.  Mr. Yang, unlike Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Marianne Williamson, and Julian Casto, had met the fundraising goals in terms of money raised and number of donors.  Those others have officially ended their campaign whereas Mr. Yang has not.  He plans to continue his campaign through the Iowa caucus and beyond.

In terms of Tuesday’s debate, I laughed when Senator Warren chided the white men on stage with the line, and I paraphrase:  the men on stage have collectively lost 10 elections whereas Amy (Klobuchar, MN Senator) and I have never lost an election.
