Enola Gay No Homo: The Daily Show mocks Trump administrations sloppy anti-DEI measures
The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper has mocked the Trump administration's "lazy" attempt to delete diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal websites. The sweeping measure resulted in the deletion of content about baseball player and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson's military service, as well as the Enola Gay, the plane which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima during World War II. The Pentagon stated that the removal of this information was a mistake brought about by their reliance on software to do the job.
"Don't blame us, blame our racist software! We should have never ChatKKK," quipped Klepper. "They just Ctrl+F-ed for gay-sounding key words and deleted anything that showed up. Now kids won't know about the Enola Gay, they won't know about transport planes, and they'll never hear about the heroic service of Captain Grindr McScissoring."
Klepper also took aim at Republicans attempting to boost "sugar daddy" Elon Musk by promoting Tesla, calling it "a bit gross," and mocked the "sloppy" release of unredacted files concerning John F. Kennedy's assassination — which included the private information of over 200 people.
"Social Security numbers, addresses, full names," said Klepper. "The only thing that wasn't in the JFK papers was who killed JFK."
