While The Daily Show had the expected rhetoric you would come to find on Confederate War Flag flying in South Carolina, they touched on an interesting subject in the next segment. After Stewart’s passionate monologue on the shootings last Thursday, it seemed many more liberals went on social media to agree with those points, somehow missing the fact that minorities have been spouting those same views for quite some time. It was a strange phenomenon that Jessica Williams and Jordan Klepper spoofed to exaggerated effect.

Below is the segment on the flag itself, seemingly written/recorded before Gov. Haley’s press conference earlier today.
