Many are going to miss seeing political humorist Jessica Williams on The Daily Show. Her ‘Williness” has delighted audiences for years, first beginning with Jon Stewart and then Trevor Noah. Williams has tackled homophobia, racism, and other social issues, while bringing us a laugh or two to help audiences stomach some of the most ridiculous American culture.
For her last segment, Williams asked a group of Bernie Sanders supporters who say they are voting for Donald Trump — how they can go from supporting a Left socialist like Bernie Sanders to a Right racist like Republican nominee Donald Trump. One young man started off saying , “Trump has diarrhea of the mouth, but a lot of what he says are what a lot of people might think.” Williams retorts, “You mean “racist things?” He says, “Yeah.”
They agree Trump is a racist, bigoted, turdy chump, but he’s not as bad as Hillary Clinton. One described her a leprechaun. When Willams asked what he had against leprechauns, he said, “They disgust me.” Another Bernie supporter was sure Hillary would put us into war within 90 days of inauguration.
When Jessica Williams asked what do Bernie and Trump have in common she received answers like, “Bernie don’t have no hair,” “they’re both old,” and “they both want to be president.” It gets worse. Williams tells the TV audience:
"This is not a robot short circuiting," said Williams. "These are real people who are going to vote."
Here’s a video of the segment:
Trevor called Jessica’s departure bittersweet. “You are the coolest, most awesome person,” he said. The Daily Show put together a small farewell and sample of what makes Jessica Williams—Jessica Williams. Here is the video.
Many cheer to Jessica Williams and look forward to her next endeavor.
