Trevor Noah did not hold back on Thursday night's episode of "The Daily Show." During his monologue, Noah slammed Fox News correspondents who accused President Barack Obama of fake-crying during his recent address on gun violence. Obama teared up during a speech Tuesday in which he detailed his executive action on gun control as he discussed the 20 elementary students and six staff members who were killed at Sandy Hook in 2012.
"See that thing you're feeling right now? That pain in your chest that comes from watching someone weep on national television, because he knows that society can do better than to file the shooting of children under 's--t happens,'" Noah said. "That feeling is how you know that you're human. No matter how opposed to Obama's policies some people may be, or how cynical their politics, they have to at least acknowledge and respect the raw authenticity of that emotion. Or so you would think."
"The Daily Show" then went on to play numerous clips asking why the president did not cry in speeches after the shooting in San Bernardino or the terrorist attacks in Paris, including one statement from Fox News' Andrea Tantaros, who said: "I would check that podium for like a raw onion, or some no more tears. I just, it's not really believable."
"Are you f-king kidding me?" Noah responded. "Shedding tears when you think of murdered children is not really believable? You know what? There is something here that is not really believable, the fact that the rest of us have to share the title of human being with you."
