Yang described coverage of Chappelle visiting his high school as 'hit job' and 'awful.'

during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Yang tweeted that he's a "great guy" who went above and beyond to make phone calls for the campaign and hang out with staff.

The initial Politico report, which appeared in an edition of the Playbook newsletter, came with a correction by Friday afternoon. One of the students who spoke to Politico said that after the comedian butted heads with members of the audience, several of whom took issue with how he's handled the backlash to his jokes on transgender people, his "whole tone changed."
