Chris Rock has made a career out of saying that white people like hearing. He’s a glorified Candace Owens.

Chris Rock has said that Nancy Pelosi and Democrats are responsible for the coronavirus pandemic because President Donald Trump is a 5 year old
In a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, the comedian spoke about everything from politics, the pandemic to blackface and Black Lives Matter—but he's taking issue with the Democrats' handling of having Trump in office.
Rock, 55, invoked the 1987 film The Last Emperor when explaining how he feels the pandemic should have been handled.
"Did you ever see that movie The Last Emperor,' he asked. "Where like a five-year-old is the emperor of China? There's a kid and he's the king. So I'm like, it's all the Democrats' fault."

He explained: "Because you knew that the emperor was five-years-old. And when the emperor's five-years-old, they only lead in theory. There's usually an adult who's like, 'OK, this is what we're really going to do.' And it was totally up to Pelosi and the Democrats."
Rock seems to take issue with the attempt to get Trump impeached instead of placating the President, like a child.
"Their thing was, 'We're going to get him impeached,' which was never going to happen. You let the pandemic come in," he said. "Yes, we can blame Trump, but he's really the five-year-old."
Rock added: "Put it this way: Republicans tell outright lies. Democrats leave out key pieces of the truth that would lead to a more nuanced argument. In a sense, it's all fake news."

Another expert entertainer weighs in ...
Chris Rock is known for his outstanding analysis and has been at the forefront of domestic and foreign policy in the US.
Trump would have been impeached and convicted with a different party makeup in the Senate. He got off through party loyalty. He will go to jail if he lives long enough.
Trump asked a foreign government to use their intelligence to out a political opponent for a presidential election. He should be incarcerated and vilified. History has this bookmarked.

He became a famous comedian by saying about black people that white people liked hearing. He’s even admitted this.
Examples?
Black ppl love rock as much or more than white ppl. If black ppl hated him you might have a point. But thats just not the case. And hes just not a famous comedian. Hes top 5 ever easily.
Shame on the Dems for actually trying to abide by the US Cons ution!
Most obvious example comes to mind:
“There are black people, and then there are n!ggers. I’ve got a real problem with n!ggers.”
And blacks loved him for it. And he has a point
Similarly to Chappelle saying there ar3 gay ppl and there are gots!![]()
The point he has applies to all races. I could easily say “there are white people, and then there are crackers!” and it would be equally true. Deadbeat losers who don’t have jobs or support their family isn’t something that exclusive to black people.
^ still on the moon
Agreed. Id say rednecks or (trump supporters)
But hes black so thats probabbly his bigger concern. Nothing wrong w that.
The only thing we learned from that waste of time impeachment was that Mitt Romney is actually a democrat.
There could be some merit to what he’s saying but his logic is faulty.
Dems share blame for , sure. But the Last Emperor is not the parallel to blame the dems. The Republican Party made Trump a candidate, backed him, supported him, enabled him. They were the adults who had ability to control the child. They didn’t. The impeachment process was the dems trying to get control of the child. The dems aren’t the adult with the child. They’re the people that overthrew the empire and made China a republic.
Rock’s conclusion doesn’t match the Last Emperor comparison.
CR has a bunch of really ed up observations.
The Dems are absolutely NOT responsible for letting the pandemic in. really W T F ?
Impeaching Trash was the right move, impeaching him only once was the wrong move.
It doesn't matter that the Repugs are nothing but a less, spineless, gutless cult mob in Senate seats that won't even try the impeached bag

Disagree a bit on this.
His point is that democrats shoulds acted immediately to save lives of americans knowing they have a 5 year old in charge. They decided to continue their BS impeachment and sit on their hands to be able to blame trump later. It was a conscious decision by them.
You just copied 6 month old rw propaganda.
It’s amazing how much you truly hate America. You are a nothing more than a trumper to the core. Since you can formulate sentence structure, and put actual sentences in your ownish words, you’re a better representation of your ideology than ducks, for example.
but you’re such a simpleton
What exactly could the Democrats in the House have done? Be specific. They weren’t getting briefed on COVID the way Trump was, but setting that aside anything they tried to do in the house wouldn’t have even been brought to the floor in the senate.
The premise that Democrats should be held to higher standards because the everyone knows Republicans are children is re ed.
Great question. That should have been a follow up question to Rock.
Thats a better response than dismissing him as a nother Candace Owens
Yeah but what is Chuck Woolery's take?
He’s blaming Democrats for not being able to clean up problems caused by Republicans. According to Chris Rock, even when the Republicans are at fault, it’s really the Democrats you should blame. If you were to use his logic, the Republicans would never be responsible for anything that goes wrong, because they’re just sweet innocent children who the Democrats should be responsible for monitoring. That’s about as Candance Owens as it gets.
Dont think so. Hes clearly blaming democrats for wasting months on a kmpeachment push and sat on their hands knowing what was coming would cost lives.
I dontbfully agree w his 2nd part
If you can pick and choose, then CR's comment mean . Things dont work that way.
Just like religious leaders picking what old testament sections to use in justifying slavery in 1800s US.
Again, how did their impeachment get in the way of addressing COVID-19? Did it make poor little Donald too distracted to do his job?
Well, he had Louie, DePaulo and Colin Quinn helping him not too surprising.
