Chris Rock calls lawmakers ‘stupid’ for wanting Trump arrested
NY Post ^ | 03-20-2023 | Lee Brown

Chris Rock joked that former President Donald Trump was “romantic” for allegedly paying off porn star Stormy Daniels — while calling lawmakers “stupid” for wanting him arrested, warning it will only inflate his popularity.

The 58-year-old funnyman addressed the expected arrest as he helped honor Adam Sandler at the Mark Twain Prize late Sunday — directly addressing lawmakers in the audience, including Nancy Pelosi.

‘”Are you guys really going to arrest Trump?” Rock asked the crowd, according to the Daily Mail, which noted that several officials from the Biden administration were in the Kennedy Center crowd.

“Do you know this is only going to make him more popular. It’s like arresting Tupac” Shakur, he quipped of the late rapper.

“He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?” he asked to a roar of laughter, according to the outlet.

I think Adam Sandler and his buddies are much less woke than most celebrities.

That’s why I don’t think it will happen

Its Alvin Bragg playing the role of Al Sharpton and Elliot Spitzer, out to get his name in the headlines.

He’s a pretty standard partisan Democrat. He’s last Netflix stand up show was laced with race baiting comments.

I used to think most politicians were evil, now I’m convinced they are simply stupid.

Sandler has said in the past that he is a Republican. But that was during Bush’s time.

I am not so sure. They now control the majority of the institutions in the US, and can just about do whatever they wish, to whomever they wish.

They aren't stupid nor filled with hatred. Trump is in their way to globalization. They have to stop him before he stops them.

Blind hatred is stupid and self defeating.

“He’s a pretty standard partisan Democrat.”

Not quite. In the Netflix show, Rock pretty masterfully painted abortion as what it is: child murder. The abortion establishment is currently quite upset about his comments

Their goals and objectives are always focused on immediate, temporary, personal and concrete benefit to themselves.

PERIOD!!

Fair enough. The racial stuff was garbage and damaging, though.
