Yesterday, Daily Show creator and friend of the show Lizz Winstead tweeted a political joke when news of a tornado touching down in Oklahoma broke.
This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.

After the depth of the devastation was revealed Winstead immediately apologized for making the tweet, but it didn't save her twitter timeline which is still currently in shambles. The initial tweet was deleted at the request of a self identified Oklahoman.
There are few things that raise emotions like a natural disaster and no disaster is complete without the constant rotation of tragedy porn on the 24-hour news channels, Facebooks, Instagrams, and Tumblrs, and as a result the internet unleashed its full fury on poor Lizz without impunity. But who should come to Winstead's defense? None other than ... Glenn Beck?
You know the worlds gone nuts when Glenn Beck is the internet's voice of reason.
