Trevor Noah On Shooting: ‘Just Call It Terrorism’ (VIDEO)

“Daily Show” host Trevor Noah isn’t sure why media is hesitant to call the shooting in Colorado Springs terrorism.

“Everyone can agree is this was a horrible tragedy,” Noah said on Monday’s episode. “But there’s another question that hasn’t been answered yet.”

Noah then played a mash-up cable news clips all asking the same question: Is this terrorism?

“I don’t understand. Why is everyone asking if you can call it terrorism? Just call it terrorism,” Noah said. “It’s not like it’s a liquor license. Whose approval are you waiting for, right? The Council Of Terrorism?”

    I doubt the GOP will ever identify one of their base as a terrorist as long as a member of the Democratic Party is in power. Terrorism has been a Republican political tool since 9/12.

  2. They still cannot admit that Timothy McVey was one of their own. They don’t see what they are saying as being wrong, and continue to double down on the whole thinking despite the fact that their rhetoric kills people. They have blood on their hands, but they will never- ever admit it.

  3. The GOP acts like each occurence of Right to Life terrorism is an exception. In fact, going back to Eric Rudolph the olympic bomber, the Tiller murder in Kansas, the Stepian murder in Bufalo, and now this, Its more like business as usual.
    The local police caught a anti abortion terrorist in my neighborhood several years ago(Army of God). check out link:

  4. New Hampshire had an attack on a Planned Parenthood clinic recently. The person who attacked it did not hurt anyone, but heavily damaged the property.

  5. How many right to life terrorist lone wolves make a pack of terrorists. Their goal is to frighten a large number of people into surrendering their right to do something perfectly legal. That is terrorism pure and simple.
