Daily Show’s Noah Thrilled by ‘Fantastic, Tremendous’ Impeachment

September 26th, 2019 7:43 PM

Fresh off the heels of Nancy Pelosi announcing an impeachment Inquiry into President Trump, liberals in the media have been giddier than school girls, hoping their dreams of President Trump being ousted from office are one step closer to becoming a reality. So much so that Trevor Noah on Wednesday’s Daily Show could hardly wait to unveil his new segment devoted to celebrating impeachment.

Noah was visibly elated as he introduced his newest gag with the ever obnoxious title; “The fantastic, absolutely tremendous road to impeachment.” Way to fairly represent both sides:

 

 

Impeachment. It's the Constitutional way to swipe left on a President. After a whistle-blower accused President Trump of using his office to pressure the President of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and woman who hasn't blinked since Y2K, responded yesterday by launching an official Impeachment investigation. And as you can imagine, since then things have only escalated. So let's catch up on all the latest developments in our ongoing segment, the fantastic, absolutely tremendous road to impeachment.

Most Americans’ recognize impeachment as being a moment of humility and division for the country rather than a “fantastic” occasion. Evidently, Noah does not fall into that category. He then proceeded to push liberal talking points regarding Ukraine:

When he left off last night the Democratic announcement of an impeachment inquiry had Trump up against the ropes. And so in response, Trump said that he would release a transcript of the phone call he had with Ukraine's president and Trump claimed this transcript would prove that he is so innocent, the most innocent person. But now we have all seen the transcript and I'm starting to wonder if Trump even read it. Yes, the transcript of the call is out. And not only did Trump definitely ask the President of the Ukraine to work with his personal lawyer/vampire henchman, to investigate Joe Biden, he also tried to rope in the United States Attorney General. And if that happened, that is a big deal.

Never one to leave his audience craving more, Noah then bludgeoned the President’s intelligence:

A president can't go around using the Justice Department as his personal task rabbit, that is not allowed…And you might be wondering, if this phone call is so damning why did Trump even release the transcript? Only an idiot would do that, exactly. And also, and also-- This is what Trump does. He does this all the time. Like Trump is the only person who would do something so bad right out in the open that it makes you question whether it is actually bad.

Late night hosts’ will ride the wave of impeachment, ignoring that half the country doesn't agree with them.

TREVOR NOAH: Impeachment. It's the Constitutional way to swipe left on a President. After a whistle-blower accused President Trump of using his office to pressure the President of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and woman who hasn't blinked since y2k, responded yesterday by launching an official Impeachment investigation. And as you can imagine, since then things have only escalated. So let's catch up on all the latest developments in our ongoing segment, the fantastic, absolutely tremendous road to impeachment. When he left off last night the Democratic announcement of an Impeachment Inquiry had Trump up against the ropes. And so in response, Trump said that he would release a transcript of the phone call he had with Ukraine's president and Trump claimed this transcript would prove that he is so innocent, the most innocent person. But now we have all seen the transcript and I'm starting to wonder if Trump even read it. Yes, the transcript of the call is out. And not only did Trump definitely ask the President of the Ukraine to work with his personal lawyer, slash vampire henchman, to investigate Joe Biden, he also tried to rope in the United States Attorney General. And if that happened, that is a big deal. Because a president can't go around using the Justice Department as his personal task rabbit, that is not allowed. It is the same way an employee at Domino's would get into trouble for drying his laundry in the pizza oven, okay. You can do it but don't be shocked when Domino's impeaches your ass. And you might be wondering, if this phone call is so damning why did Trump even release the transcript? Only an idiot would do that, exactly. And also, and also-- This is what Trump does. He does this all the time. Like Trump is the only person who would do something so bad right out in the open that it makes you question whether it is actually bad.
