Erika Kirk appeared on social media to respond to comedian Dave Chappelle's remarks after Chappelle told a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden that he felt 'better' following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, TMZ reported.
Chappelle made the comments during a stand-up performance on Saturday night. In a clip that circulated on X, he spoke about the risks of being a public speaker before bringing up Kirk's killing.
"It's scary being a public speaker. And I mean look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered … and I shouldn't say this publicly, but I feel better," he said.
"I know I shouldn't say that, but it's just a feeling. I didn't ask to feel this way," Chappelle added, before joking that he sometimes found himself wondering why he was in such a good mood.
Chappelle had previously criticised comparisons between Kirk and Martin Luther King Jr. in his Netflix stand-up special The Unstoppable. He said Kirk "fundamentally can't function like" a civil rights leader and argued that internet personalities "are negative because they have to be".
Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University in September 2025.
