Church Pastor Targets Trump & GOP Shrugs Off Jan. 6 Pardons | The Daily Show

it's only day two of Trump's presidency and already everyone is mad at him I mean guys can you give him a minute let him sit down it's it started in the morning when Trump went to the traditional post inauguration church service which is not exactly his preferred way to start the day uh it's never fun for him to be a guest at someone else's rally and to make matters worse the preacher was kind of preachy Mr President I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now gay lesbian and

transgender children and the people the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals they they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals new executive order we are Banning Church hey bishop please all right we don't go to church to hear a lecture about having Mercy on the less fortunate that's not what church is for and Trump was like I

only came here because I heard they were free crackers and now I'm getting roasted by Tig Notaro and he was he was he was probably looking up at Jesus on the cross and thinking hey you and me both brother to be fair I mean can you imagine going to church and the pastor is only addressing you like this next sermon is about the Sinners the cheaters the degenerate gamblers Gary the point is no one has ever had a worse time in church than Trump did and yes I've seen spotlight and you could tell that he

had a bad time because of the way he came out of the church super Mr President what did you think of the sermon what did you think did you like it did you find it exciting yeah this does that does that excite you did you like that watching your president get lectured to by Bishop Rachel madow get your little liberal card you sick and is this we do presidential press conferences now this is like TMZ at the departures Hall at LAX it's like hey Mr President he Mr President what do you think about Blake Lively

and Justin [Music] Bon but after getting yelled at by this church Karen Trump was also getting yelled at by everyone just because he released hundreds of violent insurrectionist back into the streets or something and yeah okay they beat some cops and broke some windows but they were doing it for him no one seems to understand that and the media won't shut up with these unfair gotcha questions you would agree that it's never acceptable to assault a police officer right so then if I can among those you pardon DJ Rodriguez he drove a stunn gun into

the neck of a DC police officer who was abducted by the mob that day he later confessed on video to the FBI and pleaded guilty for his crimes why does he deserve a pardon well I don't know is it a pardon because we're looking at commutes and we're looking at pardons okay well we'll take a look at everything we'll take a look at everything shouldn't you look at it before you issue the pardon it's like Step One release the prisoners step two look into which prisoners we should release nailed it so part one of his

answer about this whole Gen 6 thing is we'll take a look which is Trump speak for we will never look at this again but if that doesn't satisfy you he has another reason okay well we'll take a look at everything but I can say this murderers today are not even charged you have murderers that aren't charged all over you take a look at what's going on in Philadelphia take a look at what's going off in La where people murder people and they don't get charged see some murderers aren't in jail therefore nobody should be in

jail okay also think big picture here if he lets these violent criminals go there's a chance they'll kill the other violent criminals and then they'll just cancel each other out and to be fair to Trump he has been campaigning on releasing the Gen 6 prisoners for years now everyone just assumed he didn't mean the violent ones which would mean going through all the cases one by one but that's not really Trump's style new reporting from axios this morning details the private back and forth amongst president Trump's team over how many January 6th to Pardon The

Case by case review was onerous Trump staffers wondered whom to Pardon and who might slip through the cracks time was running out heading into inauguration day as Trump's team wrestled with the issue Trump just said f it release them all I have never related to Trump more all right this PDF is 400 pages okay f it all crime is legal and and look you can't expect someone to go through all these cases one by one I mean the FBI did and the and the prosecutors did and the judges did and the juries and a par

of legals and the person who Types on that weird little typewriter no one else knows how to use but Trump is busy okay it's much easier to just click select all delete so in the very first seven hours of the Trump Administration we already have our first big controversy which of course leads to the classic ritual of a trump presidency he does something crazy then then Republicans get asked about it and they're like oh what I didn't see it do you agree with President Trump's decision to Pardon these violent people if they were truly violent

no but but do I know that they were I don't know that this January 6th pardon well I've said what I've said before and that is We're Not Looking Backward I haven't seen the details but I think a lot of those CS were definitely well deserved what about those who assaulted police officers and then were pardoned by the president I haven't seen any I haven't got to the detail we're talking about people that were beating officers with fire hydrants with metal batons is that acceptable to you those people not acceptable but I didn't see it

so what do you mean I didn't see it no no no spoilers Tommy tville didn't watch Gen 6 yet okay he he'll he'll get to it but there's just so much to watch these days you know he still got 911 and Benghazi on his DVR I mean you you were a senator on J six like what do you mean you didn't see the Insurrection you lived it this is like a Titanic Survivor saying I haven't seen the movie don't tell me what happens so to sum up day one of Trump's presidency church is bad beating

cops is good so I guess he's a Democrat now for more on the Republican reaction we turn to Troy iada everybody that's right that's right all these Republicans are pretending they haven't seen footage of January 6 I mean shouldn't they be embarrassed Ronnie I know sad and ignorant people like yourself would think Republicans are are being cowardly but they actually have medical conditions that literally make it impossible for them to see the January 6th footage and unlike you I'm not an ableist what what do you mean ableist D Ron Johnson just said he didn't see

the details he can't see the details Ronnie okay Ron Johnson has a rare disease you know face blindness he has that but specifically for insurrections you know when he sees a cop getting beaten with a flag pole his brain interprets that as a rainbow or a baby deer learning to walk it it might seem cute but it's actually incredibly painful okay I've I've never heard of that but what about the rest of them does Senator tuberville also have this face blind this okay watch your tone and no Tommy tuberville actually has that disease from momento

do you remember that movie he doesn't but he forgets about January 6th every 3 minutes he's a Survivor and it's inspiring oh okay so he's not just dumb well if he didn't have momento disease then yeah he would absolutely be the dumbest senator in history but he does have it so he isn't I'm uh I'm doing a walk for the Cure next week what are you doing to give back Ronnie I I have a metal straw to re that I'll remember to use someday I guess but any Troy come come on they can't they can't

all have medical issues with seeing Jan 6 footage they do okay Laur Lauren bobbert was hypnotized at a child's birthday party and just never fully recovered um Rick Scott he couldn't see the footage because he's actually half horse so he always has those those blinders on and Tim burett couldn't see it cuz he got kicked in the head by Rick Scott because he walked behind him too quickly and it spooked him and um oh oh oh and JN th's eyes don't work because he once saw a pretty lady walk by and they went Bo and

they just they never went back into his head yeah do you think that's funny Ronnie uh I I guess I I guess I need to be more sensitive to Republicans going forward yeah you should because there's a lot of things coming down the pipeline next four years that they're not going to be able to see or hear or remember or legislate against or understand or consider okay okay okay okay I guess I guess I I guess I I should be also more respectful of people who can't watch Gen 6 footage the way you and I

have oh I haven't seen the January 6 footage well do you also have one of those diseases no no it just sounded so depressing I don't need that in my life okay okay okay TR Troy what everybody [Music]
