Liberal comedian and actor Patton Oswalt penned a lengthy apology to fans after posting photos of himself with colleague Dave Chappelle, who’s been attacked by the cancel culture over his unfiltered brand of comedy.

In an Instagram post last week, the anti-Trump B-list celebrity acknowledged being asked to perform a guest set with Chappelle, who Oswalt referred to as a “genius” and a “real friend.”

“Finished me set at @mccawhall [McCaw Hall] and got a text from @davechappelle,” Oswalt wrote. “Come over to the arena he’s performing in next door and do a guest set. Why not? I waved good-bye to this hell-year with a genius I started comedy with 34 years ago.”

Oswalt went on to praise Chappelle, who was attacked and “canceled” by the censorship mob over alleged anti-trans jokes made in recent Netflix specials.

Oswalt’s celebration, however, was short-lived as the very next day he posted an update distancing himself from Chappelle’s purported viewpoints and profusely apologizing for offending the LGBTQ community.

“I saw a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time this New Year’s Eve. We’ve known each other since we’re teens. He’s a fellow comedian, the funniest I’ve ever met. I wanted to post a pic & an IG story about it — so I did. The friend is Dave Chappelle,” he began a lengthy screed.

Oswalt said despite being friends with Chappelle for over 30 years, “we also 100% disagree about transgender rights and representation.”

“I support trans peoples’ rights — ANYONE’S rights — to live safely in the world as their fullest selves,” he said, misconstruing Chappelle’s views on natural biology and free speech. “For all the things he’s helped ME evolve on, I’ll always disagree with where he stands NOW on transgender issues.”

Oswalt went on to say he’s “hopeful” Chappelle’s not “done evolving, learning,” and that he can’t simply “cut off” their friendship like he’s done with others “who had views with which I couldn’t agree, or changed in ways I couldn’t live with.”

“I support trans peoples’ rights — ANYONE’S rights — to live safely in the world as their fullest selves. For all the things he’s helped ME evolve on, I’ll always disagree with where he stands NOW on transgender issues,” the self-proclaimed LGBTQ ally wrote, going on to apologize for “hurting” the community.

“I’m sorry, truly sorry, that I didn’t consider the hurt this would cause. Or the DEPTH of that hurt,” Oswalt wrote, admitting he’d deleted numerous comments in the post he wished would have been a “nice comment thread.”

The former “King of Queens” co-star’s prostration is a perfect example of how the entertainment industry is increasingly beholden to the corporate-sponsored LGBTQ mob and is subject to their rules on free speech and freedom of association – a point Chappelle was trying to make with his special.

Following the outrage over his Netflix special, “The Closer,” Chappelle reportedly refused to apologize to offended trans activists, instead saying his special was more about promoting free speech and shedding light on how “corporate interests” control “what I can say and what I cannot say.”
