Trevor Noah Compares Replacing RBG with Amy Coney Barrett to Trading LeBron for Ben Carson

Trevor Noah joked about the Senate’s bad trade on Tuesday’s The Daily Show, comparing their move to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Amy Coney Barrett to trading LeBron James for Ben Carson. 

Before the mockery began, the host gave credit where credit was due: “Say what you want about the G.O.P., man, but this shit — this was gangster. They swapped out a Supreme Court seat in four weeks.”

“This whole process — this whole process — in four weeks,” he added. “It was like watching a chop shop strip down your car for parts. Like, yo, I’ll miss my Audi, but you’ve got to admire their technique.”

Noah was not only impressed by the Senate’s speed but was also shocked — pointing out that they normally take months to accomplish anything.

“I mean, they just hustled Amy Coney Barrett straight from the confirmation to a midnight ceremony,” he added. “Shit looked like the basic cable version of Eyes Wide Shut. 

The host joked that if someone is doing a day time activity at night, something is definitely wrong — pointing to the difference between digging a hole during the day to digging one once the sun goes down.

“And you gotta admit, Trump’s comment about Barrett being the perfect replacement for RBG is grade A trolling,” Noah joked. “He knows what he’s doing because yes, RBG and Barrett are both women, but Barrett is going to dismantle all of RBG’s good work. So this would be like if the Lakers replaced LeBron with Ben Carson. Technically, yes, they’re swapping one Black man for another, but good luck on making the playoffs next season.”
