Trevor Noah Called Out Ted Cruz for His Baffling, Way Too Late Trump Rant

Ted Cruz is out, Donald Trump is in, and Trevor Noah had a lot to say about the both of them on last night’s Daily Show. Noah painted a pretty grim portrait of the last hours of Cruz’s now-defunct campaign, which he spent being called a “fish monster” by an Indiana Trump supporter and deflecting some pretty bizarre accusations that his evangelical father was somehow involved in the assassination of JFK.

But the former presidential candidate didn’t take any of that lying down: Noah went on to pick apart the rant Cruz delivered against Trump ahead of the Indiana primary, in which the Texas senator and sometime Psychrolutes marcidus called his opponent, among other things, “a narcissist,” “utterly amoral,” and “a pathological liar.” Unfortunately, this proved too little, way too late—and as Noah brilliantly demonstrated, was the pinnacle of hypocrisy. Nice try, Lyin’ Ted.
