“The Daily Show” prepared a box of goodies on Tuesday night’s episode for the armed militants who took over an unoccupied government building in the frigid eastern Oregon desert.

Correspondent Jordan Klepper took it upon himself to gather items from the militia’s wishlist posted on Facebook.

“When I saw that wishlist by the militia, I knew that I could help so I wanted to send a big ol’ bag of supplies,” Klepper said.

His box of goodies included holiday socks, a white “camo” shirt and a “Daily Show” hat.

Watch the clip, from Comedy Central, to see if Klepper was actually just sending his nonreturnable Christmas gifts:

  1. Can you just imagine one of these Bundy / Ritzheimer Super Patriots crossing the Delaware with Washington. He pens a letter home: “Please don’t forget the sacrifice we are making. Please send thermal footies and underwear, Scoobie snacks and Granola (assorted flavors), RedBull drinks, equipment for cold weather, some winter fatigues, maybe some Jack Daniels, and…and a big box of Kleenex, TP and air fresheners, oh…and KY Jelly (gun oil chafes like heck)…and a few pretty sheep would be extra nice for the long haul."

  2. These dorks wouldn’t have lasted a week at Valley Forge.

  3. Hope they were sent C.O.D.

  4. Poor Oregon, a small group of wingnuts from Arizona descends on a federal park in the middle of nowhere and the state gets branded with them.
