Noah Mocks Fox and Friends for Telling Comic Books Writers To Leave Politics Alone

‘Instead of going against Hydra and the typical Captain America villains, he’s going up against conservatives’

FOX NEWS [video]: “Sam Wilson, formerly ‘The Falcon, he’s taking over as ‘Captain America’ now but he’s got a new odd enemy. Instead of going against Hydra and the typical Captain America villains, he’s going up against conservatives. That’s his new enemy.”
NOAH: “You can’t blame Captain America for looking for a challenge. Defeating the Red Skull is one thing. But fighting Ben Carson, that’s a challenge. ‘Oh, Captain, I believe you want to punch the guy behind the counter.” What Fox means to say is in the latest issue of ‘Captain America,’ the Captain battles the Supreme Serpent, a racist cult leader terrorizing illegal immigrants. Who would defend that guy?”
FOX NEWS [video]: “The serpent is an American who has misgivings about illegal immigration and the costs associated with it ... Keep politics out of comic books ... What about back in the day when these comic books, Captain America used to be punching Hitler in the face?”
NOAH: “Yeah! Why can’t we— why can’t we go back to when Captain America was fighting Nazis before we got politics involved? You know Captain America was punching Hitler because of his fascist policies, right? He wasn’t just rolling around Europe planting his fist in every mustache he didn’t like. ‘Take that, hipster.’ Comic books have always taken a political stand but comic books aren’t real. It’s ultimately about escapism and fantasy. We can’t fly like Superman and Jeb Bush will never have a chance to be rejected by Supergirl. Look, I understand some conservatives may not be impressed by the new Captain America. He’s a black man, stepping into a position historically held by a white man. His politics are liberal, and he supports immigration. But it’s just fantasy, people. That would never happen in real life. And if it ever feels like we can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality, Fox and Friends just remind yourselves, yes, we can.”
