Comedian Dave Chappelle has reportedly admitted he voted for Hillary Clinton 'but didn't feel good' about it and described Donald Trump as the 'most gangsta candidate ever.'

During a set in New York on Friday night, Chappelle devoted a portion of it to topics surrounding the presidential candidates, including Trump's controversial comments caught on a hot mic tape in 2005.

Chappelle reportedly speculated that Clinton leaked the tape and went on to 'shock' the crowd when he said Trump's lewd comments did not sound like 'sexual assault' to him, adding the media 'twisted' the Republican candidate's words.

In the tape made on an Access Hollywood set in 2005, Trump is heard bragging about his attempts to seduce a married woman and boasting about how being a 'star' means he can get away with 'anything' when trying to bed a woman. 

'What I heard on that tape was gross,' Chappelle said during his set at the Cutting Room in New York City, according to The Observer, which is owned by Jared Kushner who is the son-in-law of the Republican presidential candidate. 

'But the way I got to hear it was even more gross. You know that came directly from Hillary.'

The comic went on to say he felt the media twisted Trump's words when it said the Republican candidate committed sexual assault in the recorded conversation.

'Sexual assault? It wasn't. He said, 'And when you're a star, they let you do it.' That phrase implies consent,' Chappelle said.

'I just don't like the way the media twisted that whole thing. Nobody questioned it.' 

Chappelle then described the debate, moderated by Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz, that followed after the tape was released as 'backward,' The Observer reported.

During his Friday night set in New York, Chappelle reluctantly told the audience he voted early for Clinton (pictured) in Ohio but said 'She's not right and we all know she's not right'

'A gay white man and a white woman asking a multi-billionaire how he knows the system is rigged and insisting it's not. Does that sound right to you? It didn't seem right to me,' Chappelle said.

'And here's how you know Trump is the most gangsta candidate ever. They asked him how he knows the system is rigged and he said, 'Because I take advantage of it.' He may as well have flashed his membership card for the Illuminati right then.'

Chappelle said his belief that Clinton leaked the hot mic tape put him off the Democratic candidate, who he said he voted early for in Ohio.

'She's going to be on a coin someday. And her behavior has not been coin-worthy,' he told the audience. 

'She's not right and we all know she's not right.'

During his set, Chapelle also spoke on other social issues that have dominated this year's election.

He shared that he attended a going-away party at the White House for President Barack Obama that was sponsored by BET. 

'Everyone there was black – everyone except Bradley Cooper,' he said.

The 43-year-old said attendees included Grammy award-winning singer Usher, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayer, DJ D-Nice, who performed at the private event, and DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile.

Chappelle claims that at the end of the night at the White House, he took the mic and spit a lyrical about Frederick Douglass that ended with him noting how the current election cycle has been 'gross', but that he still loves America. 

While on stage Friday night, the father-of-three touched on gay rights, women's rights, transgender rights activists, and slammed the North Carolina legislation about transgender people having to use the public restroom that aligns with the sex stated on their respective birth certificates. 

'If you need to show your birth certificate to take a dump at a Wal-Mart in North Carolina, that's insane.' Chappelle said. 

After The Observer published it's story on his performance, the comedian was angry that Kushner's publication only mentioned how he joked about Hillary during the set, when he also went after Donald just as much as her, TMZ reported.
