Noah on Trump’s Speech: If the Speech Were President, We Wouldn’t Have So Much to Worry About

‘Unfortunately, the speech and the man reading the speech have nothing in common’

NOAH: "Guys, last night's speech was pretty good. And you know what? If the speech were president, America wouldn't have so much to worry about. Unfortunately, the speech and the man reading the speech have nothing in common. For example, Trump's promise to help black people — or as he calls them, 'inner cities.'"

TRUMP: "Our neglected inner cities will see a rebirth of hope, safety, and opportunity."

NOAH: "Now, you see, that sounds great. It definitely sounds a lot better for black people than what Trump's attorney general and part-time hobbit Jeff Sessions is actually doing. Because while Trump is playing nice-nice, Sessions has decided to pull back on all federal investigations into police brutality. In fact, Jeff Sessions gives so few (bleep) about civil rights he made this decision without even reading the Justice Department reports on police violence in both Chicago and Ferguson. It's true. He said he knows what they're about because he read the summary. Which, I'm sorry, people, is (bleep). It's like someone saying they hate Waffle House because of the smell when they walk past the restaurant. Shame on you. Eat the food, then throw up like the rest of us! You don't prejudge, people, you don't do it."
