Dave Chappelle would appreciate Curt Schilling’s “I didn’t know I couldn’t do that” defense.

Two days after the ESPN personality went on a radio show and didn’t mince words about Hillary Clinton, Schilling joined another radio broadcast to explain himself and his ignorance of the company’s political policies.

On Boston’s WEEI on Thursday — where he regularly appears — the 49-year-old didn’t apologize for saying Hillary Clinton should be “buried under a jail,” but did state he is and was unaware that ESPN may not endorse his talking politics on another network.

“Right hand to God, I didn’t get that until about two weeks ago ’cause it was in my spam folder,” Schilling said about a memo the Worldwide Leader distributed in January, detailing that talent should not espouse politics views during the presidential campaign. “I had heard before that — I’m like, ‘What is this memo, people making this up?’ … and then when I read it, I was like OK. My assumption was they didn’t want us talking about politics in an ESPN setting, whether it be radio or television. I’m assuming that probably ended up not being right.”

An ESPN spokesman told The Post the network is “addressing” the controversial comments, but Schilling said they have yet to speak to him. Whether he is allowed to pontificate on another platform is not clear, with the release imploring talent to “refrain from political editorializing, personal attacks or “drive-by” comments regarding the candidates and their campaign.”

In his first suspension from ESPN, though — last September that ran up until the MLB playoffs — the now Monday night baseball personality was disciplined for conduct done off the network. On social media, he had passed along a meme that compared extremist Muslims to Nazis, then sent scathing emails to Awful Announcing in defending himself.

On the Dennis and Callahan show Thursday, Schilling denied his Clinton critiques — saying he’d be “stunned” if her email scandal didn’t imprison her before the general election — were intended to make waves. He said he had spoken with Rex Hudler, a former teammate, about a myriad topics for an hour, but his five-minute spiel on politics is all that’s being highlighted.

“I think people assume that I’m saying things to rile other people up,” Schilling said. “I say what I believe, and I’m passionate about what I believe. That doesn’t make me right, it just makes me me. And I’m OK with that. I sleep good at night.”

Even as a possible suspension — or worse — looms for the all-time great pitcher.

“If my employer fires me because of that, then it wasn’t meant to be,” Schilling said.
