Jordan Klepper’s followers love his one-on-one interviews at Trump rallies, exposing the hypocrisies, lies, and disinformation that embed their thinking. It’s both sad and amusing to watch, notes the arrogant liberal, who, of course, is fully possessed of facts and unshakeable truths. And it’s the truth part that we didn’t really understand. We thought, or at least I did, that when presented with truths, MAGA would accept the error of their ways and all would be well. How wrong we were. Truth is “Truth Social,” what they want to hear, want to believe, and to hell with that old school definition of truth from Merriam-Webster.
Truth: the body of real things, events, and facts : actuality
: the state of being the case : fact
often capitalized : a transcendent fundamental or spiritual reality
: a judgment, proposition, or idea that is true or accepted as tru
: the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality
Jordan Klepper Recalls His Favorite MAGA Comment And It's A Doozy
The Donald Trump supporter was “being completely honest in that moment," said "The Daily Show" correspondent.
Jordan Klepper has endured his fair share of wild moments with Donald Trump supporters during his MAGA field reports for “The Daily Show.”
But one comment stands out, the correspondent recalled in previously unseen footage filmed last week during his stint guest-hosting the Comedy Central program.
Klepper remembered talking to a woman during Trump’s first impeachment for trying to extort Ukraine. The then-president was blocking witnesses, including former national security adviser John Bolton, from testifying.The woman insisted to Klepper that Trump was “innocent,” and said that if he had done anything wrong he’d be trying to hide it.
Klepper asked if blocking testimony would be an admission of guilt. The woman agreed it would. Klepper told her Trump was blocking testimony.
“And she takes this very long beat, she thinks about it, and she says, ‘I don’t care,’” he said.
The woman was “being completely honest in that moment,” he added.
When people’s politics become tied up with their identity it’s almost impossible to change their minds, Klepper noted.
“They don’t give a shit about the new piece of information,” he said.
