The Daily Show Asks When There’ll Be a Huge Rally for Boko Haram Victims

 

Tonight Jon Stewart and Daily Show correspondent Trevor Noah reminded everyone that Boko Haram still, unfortunately, exists, and should maybe get at least a fraction of the global reaction the Paris terrorists who attacked Charlie Hebdo got.

Noah said unlike Paris, zero heads of state showed up in Nigeria to show their support. He added, “At least you could have sent us James Taylor!

He and Stewart tried to explain how evil Boko Haram is by comparing it to America’s current enemy, ISIS. Noah called Boko Haram “black ISIS” and said the Nigerian victims should at least be included in the world’s marches.

Stewart’s excuse for the West: “But we’re so busy.”
