Trevor Noah to Democrats: ‘Slow Down’ on Impeachment
Robert Mueller’s press conference this week lit a fire under the 2020 Democratic candidates, who have been competing to see who can make a louder call for the beginning of impeachment proceedings for President Trump. The Daily Show host Trevor Noah thinks they might want to slow their roll.
Noah said he couldn’t believe how much Mueller’s concise message has “emboldened” the Democratic field. “You realize like a week ago, they were considering impeachment, and now they’re fully in,” he said. “It’s like if your granny said she was finally ready to consider getting an email address and then a week later she’s indicted for hacking into the Pentagon.”
At the same time, Noah mocked Trump for thinking you need to be guilty of both high crimes and misdemeanors to be impeached and briefly admitting—and then denying—that Russia helped him win the 2016 election. “You know who got me elected?” Trump asked reporters. “I got me elected.”
