The Daily Show Finds Christianity Useful…To Call Conservatives Racist
24th September 2025
The Daily Show’s only use for Christianity seems to be using it against conservatives, and the latest installment in this ignoble tradition took place on Tuesday as host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper welcomed Sirius XM host, comedian, and occasional cable news talking head John Fugelsang to the Comedy Central program to discuss his new book on the matter.
Klepper simply asked, “So why write this book?”
Fugelsang replied that, “I wrote this book because I got tired of seeing my parents’ faith used as a cloaking device for meanness and bigotry and superiority. Jesus’s movement was about humility. It was about service to others. It was about uplifting the marginalized, not about total right-wing domination of the school board.”
