If you’ve ever known someone with cancer, you probably
remember pouring out your support after his or her diagnosis.
Was politics on your mind as you put your pen to a sympathy card
or picked up the phone to wish the person well? Probably not -
you wanted your loved one to be the center of attention.
But the Left will not stop until politics is the
center of every human issue, and comedian Trevor Noah of The Daily
Show marched forward on that front at the “Fuck Cancer” gala in
Los Angeles on Oct. 13.
Huffington Post reported that Noah began his gala
performance with a heartfelt account of a conversation he once
had with a cancer-stricken friend: “He said, ‘Trevor, cancer is,
it’s a scary thing because they first tell you about it, you don’t
believe it is happening. You know that it exists but you don’t
ever believe it’s something that can happen to you.’” Endearing,
right?
Not for long. Noah remembered that he told his friend
“‘So, wow, cancer is Donald Trump.’” After that brazen politicization,
Noah cycled through several awkward comparisons in the hope of
eliciting laughs, one of them being “He’s a cancer that grows,
and everyone’s like ‘Is it over? No, no, it’s back. Stronger than
ever. Ok, well f*** it again …’” Noah rambled on, labeling the
45th president an “emotional paradox” for his ability to scare
him and make him laugh at the same time, and soon the routine
was entirely off topic.
