President Joe Biden wants to bring “unity” to the United States of America. But how The Daily Show ‘s Trevor Noah explained on Wednesday night that it will not be easy, as this country has been divided since the beginning.
“I can see why the unit would be very attractive to people now,” said the host. “But for the unit to work, you have to agree on what the unit is. And in Washington now, they are not even united in this. “
With that, Noah made a montage of Republican lawmakers like Senators Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham, along with Fox News presenter Sean Hannity, criticizing Biden for taking progressive steps while preaching “unity”. As Hannity asked his viewers, “Does anyone still believe him? Anyone? Raise your hand at home. “
“Dude, only one of your viewers is stupid enough to think you can see him on TV,” said Noah, making perhaps his only Trump joke of the night. “Because this is ridiculous. Apparently, do Republicans think that ‘unity’ means that Democrats have to act like Republicans? “
“I’ll tell you something,” he added. “Unity is not just about doing what the losers want. It definitely doesn’t mean you can’t hold Trump accountable for what he did. “
All of this led Noah to Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who supported QAnon, who advocated the execution of prominent Democratic political figures in 2019. “Holy shit!” the host replied. “Did this lady Marjorie Taylor Greene want to shoot Pelosi and hang Obama and Hillary? This woman is something else. It is as if a normal Karen falls into a chemical tank and then becomes a Batman villain ”.
“I mean, how can you achieve union with someone who is literally wanting you dead?” he asked.
