The Daily Show Defends White Guys
The lone gunman who laid siege to a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood on Friday, wounding nine and killing three, happened to be white. But that doesn’t mean all white Christian dudes are bad, insisted The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper in a conversation with host Trevor Noah. In fact, “the vast majority of white men are peaceful bros who want to live quiet lives here in America—specifically in the suburbs.”
In a segment Monday night, Klepper condemned shooter Robert Lewis Dear’s actions, but implored the audience not to discriminate against white guys. “I grant there are some weird things about white culture,” he said. “But that doesn’t make us all terrorists.”
