Patton Oswalt issues apology after photo with Dave Chappelle

Hollywood comedian Patton Oswalt is apologizing after posting a photo on social media with his longtime friend and fellow comic Dave Chappelle.

Chappelle has recently come under fire for his Netflix comedy special “The Closer,” which critics say is insensitive toward the transgender community.

Just days after creating the post, Oswalt felt a need to extinguish any fires it may have caused among his fan base, which tends to be liberal.

In a lengthy apology post, Oswalt noted he had played a show with a friend on New Year's Eve who he had not seen in a while, referring to Chappelle.

“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,” wrote Oswalt. 

But we also 100% disagree about transgender rights & representation. 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.

Oswalt continued in his post that he was "sorry, truly sorry" that he "didn’t consider the hurt" posting the picture "would cause. Or the DEPTH of that hurt."

People are being trained to denounce their friends, and do it automatically and immediately. It’s more and more like Mao’s Cultural Revolution.

Word around the campfire is, he REALLY likes kids, but you didn't hear it from me.
