As TMZ previously reported, Chappelle also said, "I feel f***ed up saying this. It's scary being a public speaker. Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn't say this publicly, but I feel better."
And he didn't stop there ... adding, "I know I shouldn't say that, but it's just a feeling. I didn't ask to feel this way," before joking about driving around in a good mood and suddenly remembering why.
The footage has sparked major backlash online ... including what appeared to be a response from Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk.
Erika blasted "leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators" in a Sunday post on X ... calling it "beyond disgusting" to treat political assassination like entertainment and someone's death as a punchline.
She said Charlie was murdered over his political beliefs, and she and their two children will live with that loss forever ... adding that a culture laughing at assassination shows "profound moral decay."
Chappelle has taken aim at Charlie before ... criticizing comparisons between the Turning Point USA co-founder and Martin Luther King Jr. in his Netflix special "The Unstoppable."
As we reported ... Charlie was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025. Tyler Robinson has been charged with his murder.
