Chris Rock’s new comedy special outrages liberals on Twitter

"Shocking", "Turned my whole TV off" - One year has passed since Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars in 2022

Newsroom March 9 09:43

Leftist professors and journalists launched tirades against Chris Rock in response to his new Netflix stand-up special, “Selective Outrage,” which came out on Saturday.

Rock made waves after he called out Meghan Markle for her accusations of racism against the royal family, criticized actress Jada Pinkett for cheating on her husband, Will Smith, and addressed the infamous slap controversy during the special.

It was the first time that Rock has spoken directly about the Oscars slap incident, which went viral almost immediately after Smith slapped the comedian live on stage during the awards show last year.
