Usually when Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper does his man-on-the-street segments he travels to a conservative event and tries to make conservatives look bad, but on Tuesday he shook it up a bit.

This past week, liberal hero Eric Swalwell has been compelled to end his California gubernatorial bid and resign from Congress because of allegations that he is a rapist.

The late night comedians like to think of themselves as the kind of people who use humor to highlight the absurdities coming from President Trump, but on their Monday shows, all they ended up doing was proving their own ignorance on the matters they chose to talk about. In this case, the subject was Trump’s announcement of a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz after Saturday’s failed negotiations…

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Josh Johnson reacted to President Trump’s appearance at Markwayne Mullin’s swearing-in ceremony to be secretary of Homeland Security by declaring that the lack of a Pocahontas joke about Sen.
