Comedian Dave Chappelle made a joke about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband during a speech at the Capitol Police Memorial Service on Thursday, September 6. Chappelle referred to Paul Pelosi as ‘gay’ and ‘an old white man’ in his routine, drawing some laughter from the audience. Pelosi’s office released a statement expressing disappointment in the joke, stating that ‘the Speaker’s family is off-limits and that the Speaker herself is not a target for comedy.’
