‘Daily Show’ Host Justifies Violence Against Trump?

Late-night TV has never been this dark or angry.

We saw it with the just-canceled “Late Show,” where host Stephen Colbert raged against President Donald Trump with a mix of Fake News and DNC talking points.

“Saturday Night Live” peddles assassination gags to its cheering throng.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” saw its host holding up a T-shirt that read, “Donald Trump Is Going to Kill You.” That same show yukked it up over violent attacks on Tesla dealerships and staffers crushing on alleged murderers.

Dark. Angry. Ugly.

Irresponsible.

Now, a regular host on “The Daily Show” is joining the melee. 

Host Josh Johnson weighed in on both threats against President Trump and the nation’s healthcare system on the “Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso” podcast.

The two don’t seem to go together, but Johnson forced the issue during the ghoulish chat.

How?

The far-Left comic attempted to rationalize why anyone would pick up arms to eliminate Trump. We’ve already seen three attempts to do just that.

Even worse?

The interview debuted after yet another gunman stalked the White House. This time, the man in question sprayed the property with bullets before Secret Service agents took him down.

For Johnson, the ends may justify the means.

“I think that there has been a co-opting of non-violence to the point of almost being a psyop,” Johnson said. “You can only take away so much from a person before they have no options left, other than to scream in the street — sort of riot or something like that … Or before they pinpoint certain individuals that they see as the perpetrators of all these crimes against making a way of life.”

How else can one read those words than a justification of violence or, at the very least, violent protests?

Johnson wasn’t done.

“You shouldn’t have to earn the right to live … When people, of no fault of their own, get sick and they can’t afford whatever this astronomical bill is, and then they get on the hook for this bill for their care…”

“But then the insurance company is over here side-stepping them left and right, putting them on hold for three days or putting them in a circle of reasoning around paperwork until they die anyway, it’s like, that’s not considered violence by us.”

Those comments ignore a massive elephant in the room. The current health care mess we’re in is based, in large part, on ObamaCare, President Barack Obama’s “signature” achievement.

Prices have soared since the Democrats pushed that legislation over the finish line without a single GOP vote but plenty of gaslighting. Remember, “If you like your health plan, you can keep it?” 

AKA the PolitiFact Lie of the Year.

Now, Johnson didn’t share these views from “The Daily Show” pulpit. It’s still a chilling perspective for any mainstream media comedian to share.

Will he expound upon those views from his Comedy Central perch? Or will the cable channel realize those kinds of comments are deeply irresponsible, at best?
