The Daily Show reacts to right-wing commentators turning on Trump

In the aftermath of Republican midterm elections that proved disastrous for the party, right-wing commentators are distancing themselves from President Donald Trump's refusal to accept any blame. During a segment on The Daily Show, host Jordan Klepper showcased clips of prominent figures expressing criticism or distancing themselves from the president.

Klepper emphasized that those who once supported Trump, including his merchandise and idolaters, now find themselves in a precarious position due to one significant generational decline.

Klepper urged right-wing media to "lock in" and reframe their narrative. Clips of pundits such as Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro were played, criticizing Trump, followed by Megyn Kelly's seemingly dismissive response after discussing Trump's post reminding America of his continued presidency. Klepper playfully questioned Kelly's comment, noting that one should not sass the president unless they are Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin.

The segment highlighted the evolving reaction within the right-wing media and punditry to Trump's stance following the election setbacks, showcasing the complexities of loyalty and criticism within a fractured political landscape.
