When Tomi Lahren came on "The Daily Show" Tuesday, host Trevor Noah had hoped to find common ground. Was it possible?
“For somebody who is not racist, you have to spend a lot of time saying ‘I am not racist,'" Noah noted before delivering a scathing takedown of Lahren's obvious contradictions.
“You don't see color? So what do you do at a traffic light?” Noah joked.
Minutes later the host reminded Lahren of one of her most incendiary claims: That Black Lives Matter is the new Ku Klux Klan.
"You realize Black Lives Matter can't be the new KKK; the KKK is still around," Noah pointed out. "And, most importantly, to say Black Lives Matter is the new KKK is to really, really minimize what the KKK did and what they stand for."
Lahren then rattled off examples of Black Lives Matter protests, that, like many protests, turned violent.
“When that now becomes the narrative and you’re starting to loot, burn and riot: What did the KKK do?” she argued.
Noah couldn't believe what he was hearing.
“Did you say, ‘What did the KKK do?’" Noah asked. “Wow.”
