Dave Chappelle Hartford: Mayor of Conn. City Responds To Comic's Insults 'Quit Whining'

After stopping a show after just ten minutes at a venue in Hartford Connecticut after the crowd became unruly, Dave Chappelle didn't have many nice things to say about the people of the state's capital city. Now the mayor of Hartford is firing back.

Mayor Pedro Segarra posted a response to the flurry of hate from Chappelle over the past few days as a reaction to the bad show.

The mayor took to Twitter to voice his opinion on the matter, writing: "Dave Chappelle should quit whining, do his job and try some yoga. #HartfordHasIt."

The comedian hasn't kept quiet about his awkward performance in the city calling the people evil and saying he hopes a bomb lands on Hartford. The comic took to the stage for ten minutes before people in the crowd began shouting out catchphrases from Chappelle's popular sketch show on Comedy Central. Chappelle then stopped his performance but remained on stage another fifteen uncomfortable minutes in order to fill his contract and stay on stage for 25 minutes.

"Listen, I know you guys read in the paper that I took a nasty spill the other night, but I swear to God it wasn't my fault and I promise you, contrary to popular belief, that I'm not on drugs. And the reason I know this crowd is good because as soon as I said I'm not on drugs, the whole back tier booed me. Finally, a "boo" for the right reasons ... [This crowd is] So much better than Hartford. I will never go back. I won't even go back to Hartford for fuckin' gas. I don't want anything bad to happen to the United States, but if North Korea drops a bomb on this country, I swear to God I hope it lands on Hartford, Connecticut, onstage at that fuckin' arena," Chappelle said at a recent show in Chicago, according to Splitsider. "That crowd was evil! ... An arena full of suburban torturers. Young white alcoholics. Just booin' and talkin' all kinds of shit. I wanted to pull like a reverse Kramer, just call 'em all crackers or something like that. I know that shit would be on YouTube ... Couldn't do that because I felt bad when Kramer did that shit to us ... That shit in Hartford was bad! You know that crowd feels lucky that they got to see me freak out. It's just like being at the fuckin' tiger show the night Siegfried & Roy got their throats bit out by the tiger. It's fucked up, but I know that's why you go to the tiger show."

It appears the mayor of the city of Hartford has finally had enough of Chappelle's whining and would prefer that everyone involved move on from this destructive PR nightmare.
