Most of the time Comedy Central’s The Daily Show is a reliably liberal show, but on Thursday, host Jordan Klepper decided to shake things up a little bit and become a communist show when he did his best Hasan Piker impression and welcomed writer, director, and self-described communist Boots Riley to promote his new movie that promotes shoplifting.
Klepper, who has also tried to normalize Piker, put the ball on the tee when he wondered, “For people who haven't seen this, what is I Love Boosters?”
It takes a special kind of tone deafness to ignore all of communism’s crimes and epic failures and consider yourself a communist in 2026 while wearing a giant purple hat, but that is what Riley did, “Well, boosters are folks that shoplift and sell at a discount price. So it is something that, as a broke rapper for many decades, I have definitely had to have around me in order to stay fly because staying fly is part of the job requirement.”
