“Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic said America would rather elect its first criminal president before electing its first woman president after Donald Trump’s victory this week.
“What the actual fuck, America?” she said on Wednesday night. “We have had two qualified, accomplished women nominated for president, and both times they lost to the worst man in the whole country.”
There’s already been plenty of contradictory analyses over why Vice President Kamala Harris lost, but Lydic isn’t interested.
“Honestly I don’t really care why she lost,” she said. “I care why he won.”
She added:
“We have spent so much time diagnosing Donald Trump and what his actions say about him: He’s a dictator. He’s a fascist. He’s a malignant narcissist whose blood type is fryer oil. But it’s pretty clear that America is the one that needs the diagnosis, because whatever’s wrong with him, we fucking love it.”
“In this moment, Donald Trump is holding up a mirror to the American people,” she said. “And it might be time to take a good fucking hard look.”
