After Democrats failed to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week, Desi Lydic, was not happy. In a likely preview of the next two years, Lydic would attack House Democrats from the left for failing to show up to the vote and taking “a major L.”
In a segment that thumbed its nose at the idea voters want politicians to focus on affordability, Lydic teed up a clip of CNN’s Audie Cornish by declaring, “But you know what: You can bitch all you want, Trump. It won't make a difference, because with all the Democratic energy pouring into Congress, there's no way Pete Hegseth can escape impeachment! Now to pop this $4,000 bottle of champagne I've been saving for just this moment.”
After the brief clip of Cornish explaining the vote failed, Lydic returned to wonder, “What happened? They had him dead to rights! What kind of shenanigans did those Republicans pull?”
