Washington Post columnist Perry Bacon Jr. traveled to his native Kentucky to be interviewed for a segment on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show by temp and fellow native Kentuckian Desi Lydic. Bacon, who used to be a congressional and White House correspondent, urged people to harass Republicans in public places such as church and the grocery store in response to some of their recent legislation.
The premise for Lydic’s segment was that not everybody in Kentucky agrees with what Republicans are doing, which is not exactly an insightful observation. In addition to interviewing people who agreed with her, Lydic also cited some poorly worded polls to justify her claim that Kentuckians disagree with Republicans on guns, abortion, and “gender-affirming care.”
