Not to nitpick but they should have said “ knock UP someone in Texas.” Not “knock someone UP in Texas.”

About an hour after the first tweet, The Daily Show tweeted once more, seemingly walking back the joke, but not deleting it from its Twitter account.

“Friends, we’re certainly not promoting abortions. Just excited about #SCOTUS reaffirming right to choose,” the show tweeted.

What else would you expect from an H-1B host from a third world country for a 2nd rate “comedy show”?

I know its wrong for me to wish or want for them what they want to happen to unborn babies its just hard for me to see these people celebrating, celebrating murder..tonight on ABC News, they actually showed people PARTYING over today’s Supreme Court decision, CELEBRATING and PARTYING..over what..the right to murder babies..and these are the people Im supposed to have pity on, I just cant do it. I cant pity them because they are evil and there is no cure for that kind of evil they never grow out of it. They talk about a woman’s “Right” to choose, how about the babies right..do they have ANY say at all, I wish someone would ask these pro abort people that question

So this D-bag Trevor Noah, as it turns out he’s not much of an improvment over Jon Stewart.

He’s from South Africa, I doubt he’s visited any Black neighborhoods in America.
