        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Chris Rock</strong> blamed the Democrats for letting &#8220;the pandemic come in&#8221; by focusing too much on trying to impeach President Trump,&nbsp; according to a new report.</p><p>The comedian, 55, opened up in a wide-ranging interview <strong>with the New York Times</strong> in which he touched on the current state of politics and discussed his new show &#8220;Fargo.&#8221;</p><p>Rock said it was up to leading Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to keep Trump in check, using the 1987 Academy Award-winning movie &#8220;The Last Emperor&#8221; to compare Trump to the 5-year-old who takes the throne in China in the flick.</p><p>&#8220;So I’m like, it’s all the Democrats’ fault. Because you knew that the emperor was 5 years old,&#8221; Rock told the New York Times. &#8220;And when the emperor’s 5 years old, they only lead in theory. There’s usually an adult who’s like, &#8216;OK, this is what we’re really going to do.&#8217;&#8221;</p><p>He continued, &#8220;And it was totally up to Pelosi and the Democrats. Their thing was, &#8216;We’re going to get him impeached,&#8217; which was never going to happen. You let the pandemic come in. Yes, we can blame Trump, but he’s really the 5-year-old.&#8221;</p><p>The funnyman then slammed both parties.</p><p>&#8220;Put it this way: Republicans tell outright lies. Democrats leave out key pieces of the truth that would lead to a more nuanced argument,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In a sense, it’s all fake news.&#8221;</p><p>Rock also shared his thoughts on the job Trump is doing.</p><p>&#8220;Part of the reason we’re in the predicament we’re in is, the president’s a landlord,&#8221; he said. &#8220;No one has less compassion for humans than a landlord. And we’re shocked he’s not engaged.&#8221;</p><p>Meanwhile, Rock called protests happening now around the country against police brutality and racial inequality &#8220;the second great civil rights movement,&#8221; adding that racism is &#8220;real.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not going away,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I said this before, but Obama becoming the president, it’s progress for white people. It’s not progress for Black people. It’s the Jackie Robinson thing. It’s written like he broke a barrier, as if there weren’t Black people that could play before him. And that’s how white people have learned about racism.</p><p>&#8220;They think, when these people work hard enough, they’ll be like Jackie. And the real narrative should be that these people, the Black people, are being abused by a group of people that are mentally handicapped. And we’re trying to get them past their mental handicaps to see that all people are equal.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
