Trevor Noah on Wednesday’s episode of “The Daily Show” called out conservatives who resurrected the idea that President Barack Obama faked tears when talking about the elementary school children shot and killed in Newtown, Connecticut.
During Obama’s announcement about his executive actions on guns on Tuesday, the President paused to wipe away tears after listing major mass shootings of his presidency, ending with Sandy Hook Elementary. He’s repeatedly called that day in December the worst day of his presidency.
In the immediate aftermath, pundits called his tears “not really believable” and suggested he had a “raw onion” at his dais.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Noah said. “Shedding tears when you think of murdered children is not really believable? You know what? There is something here that’s not really believable: The fact that the rest of us have to share the title of human being with you.”
