“The Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore refused to hide his disdain for Fox News on Tuesday night, reviewing the channel’s coverage of the violence in Baltimore this week.

Wilmore played a few clips of Fox hosts, one saying that the unrest in Baltimore “looks like some riot in a Third World nation.”

Shep Smith complained that police officers in the city had to “stand by and watch these thugs go thuggin’,” prompting laughter from Wilmore’s audience.

Meanwhile, host Megyn Kelly added, “this doesn’t look or feel like the United States of America.”

The host faux-whimpered, “this doesn’t look like the United States, I can’t relate.” Fox News will never be able to relate, he said.

“If anything explains America, it’s those pictures: oppression-riot, oppression-riot is exactly the pattern that built this country. Starting with the tax oppression that led to the tea party riot, the party that you all seem so in love with.”

The last straw was a long montage of Fox hosts rattling off the name of one reported gang from Baltimore, “The Black Guerilla Family” a bit too many times for Wilmore’s taste.

“Fuck you, motherfuckers,” he said. “That’s rolling off your tongues a little too gleefully.”
