Amer chose to go after what he considered to be Islamophobia in right-wing America, but while he accused other people of using “lazy tropes” to justify…

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.

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.

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.
