President Joe Biden wants to bring “unity” to the United States of America. But like The daily show ‘s Trevor Noah explained on Wednesday evening, that will not be easy as this country has been virtually divided from the very beginning.
“I understand why unity would be very attractive to people at this point,” said the host. “But for unity to work, you have to agree on what unity is. And in Washington they disagree on that right now. “
With that, Noah played a montage of Republican lawmakers like Senators Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham, along with Fox News presenter Sean Hannity, who protested Biden for taking progressive action while preaching “ unity. ” As Hannity asked his viewers, “Does anyone still believe him at this point? Someone? Raise your hand at home. “
“Dude, just one of your viewers is dumb enough to think you can watch him on TV,” said Noah, who may have been his only Trump joke of the night. ‘Because this is ridiculous. Apparently Republicans think “unity” means Democrats should act like Republicans? “
“I’ll tell you this a lot,” he added. ‘Unity doesn’t mean just doing what the losers want. It doesn’t mean you can’t hold Trump accountable for what he did. “
All of this brought Noah to QAnon-endorsed Republican Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who called for the execution of prominent Democratic political figures in 2019. “Holy shit!” the host replied. ‘This lady of Marjorie Taylor Greene wanted to shoot Pelosi and hang Obama and Hillary? This woman is slightly different. It’s like a normal Karen fell into a barrel of chemicals and then became a Batman villain. “
“I mean, how can you achieve unity with someone who literally wants you dead?” he asked.
