"Why are you so afraid I think it's because the quiet part that a lot of people don't realise they are saying is, 'We don't want these people who were previously oppressed to get into power because then they may do to us what we did to them', which, ironically, is not true."

Trevor Noah gets dragged over Rishi Sunak defence

Trevor got quite the reaction from people who thought differently. Most netizens reasoned that the problem with Rishi is that he is a rich leader who will not look after the working class.

@LeoKearse commented:

"Trevor Noah on the "racist backlash" (which didn't happen) to Rishi Sunak. The masks in the crowd do it for me. Fallacious unfunny comedy for scared compliant people."

@inanosum commented:

"PM Sunak was never really attacked for his skin-colour, but for being a ruthless elitist neoliberal. The Daily Show knows that. They are creating a straw man to label any future opposition to Sunak 'racist'. The liberal discourse ultimately serves to protect the power elites."

@thatfoxxybloke commented:

"Literally, nobody in the UK is saying what you’re claiming. This is Markle-level made-up nonsense to get attention."

"What backlash? Where? You're making things up."
