Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Desi Lydic was dismayed on Thursday at recent polling that still showed high levels of support for President Trump among Republicans. Under the guise of self-deprecating humor, she compared those who still support Trump with a fictitious version of herself who set up a Jared Fogle babysitter fan club.
Lydic introduced a clip of the always energetic CNN polling data guru Harry Enten by recapping a previous clip of an event Trump recently did at the White House with military moms, “Inflation is rising, corruption is through the roof, we are losing a war he shouldn't have started, and he's spending his days rambling about autocorrect and building a ballroom for himself and Melody? Surely at this point, he's got to be losing support among Republicans.”
Melody refers to Melody Wolfe, who was the mother of West Virginia National Guard Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, who was shot in Washington, D.C., in November.
