The CBS comedians weren't the only late night hosts to lose their minds at the Trump Administration's response to the Los Angeles riots, NBC's host of Late Night, Seth Meyers, and Comedy Central's Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, followed suit.
Stewart saw racism afoot, “Whether you win a basketball championship, a World Series championship, whether you have an exploding piñata gender reveal gone wrong. Congratulations, it's a boy and an evacuation! Or you're just protesting the Trump administration's expanded deportation raids, LA continues to be our most flammable city. This weekend's combustion was the very predictable result of a liberal city reliant on an immigrant population, colliding with a heavy-handed MAGA migrant trawling operation looking to hit its quota of brown poke-men. Gotta catch them all.”
Later, he also appeared to endorse the rioters’ veto, “So, now predictably, these non-targeted, much broader deportation efforts in cities that feel very connected to the immigrant population is a tinderbox. And Trump happily lights the fuse. Peaceful protesters, mixed with anarchists and vandals, pushed back by horseback and teargas."
