[Daily Caller] The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah described the far-left extremist movement Antifa as "Vegan ISIS" Thursday night, among a host of other jokes and insults rebuking the group of violent anarchists.
Noah’s jokes follow the establishment media’s change in stance towards the extremist movement, which earned widespread ire following violence in Berkeley last weekend. During the protest, random onlookers, conservatives, and journalists were assaulted by gangs of black-clad "anti-fascists." The group even went after a comedian dressed as a popcorn vendor, deeming him a capitalist.
Naturally, members of Antifa and their left-wing sympathizers did not take Noah’s jokes lightly. From accusations of Nazi sympathizing to all-out death threats, leftists are upset by the comedian’s right to tell jokes.
Responding to a tweet promoting the segment and mocking Antifa, far-left extremists railed against the show and its host ranging between milquetoast criticism like "this is not comedy anymore" to lame insults against moderates who found the segment funny.
Many of the comments were hyperbolic, warning that Antifa are the only thing standing between democracy and full-blown Nazism. |
