‘The Daily Show With Trevor’ Noah Rips on Mike Huckabee [Watch]
On "The Daily Show" last week, host Trevor Noah found the humor in Mike Huckabee's comments that compared Syrian refugees to a five-pound bag of peanuts.
According to Salon, the segment was a full on comical assault of Huckabee, who has been in the news quite often lately for various reasons, but seems to make no progress in the Republican presidential race polls.
In his latest tirade, the former Arkansas Governor and Presidential hopeful was doing an interview on the topic of Syrian refugees being let into the U.S.
At first, he said that there are "tens of thousands of refugees coming here from the Middle East and you have no idea who they are and there is no way to check them."
He then compared them to a five-pound bag of peanuts and said, posing as a question, that "if you bought a five-pound bag of peanuts and you knew that there were about 10 peanuts in that bag that were deadly poisonous, would you feed them to your kids?"
That is where Noah felt compelled to respond to the comment, considering the context and parallels he drew with it.
"Well, it depends. How sh*tty are your kids?" Noah said in the segment. "Because if they're the kind of people who compare suffering refugees to tainted peanuts, then maybe."
Noah also said that he should find a better way to make a comparison to the refugee crisis in Syria, then played another interview.
Huckabee started comparing the refugees to food products again, referring to them as "tainted milk" and even using burrito franchise Chipotle as an example.
"Actually, you know what, go back to peanuts. That was better," Noah comically said.
Then another clip was played that showed Huckabee comparing refugees to tainted cheese, beef and wine. Of course, Noah had a field day with his constant food references.
