  "account": "On Tuesday, The Daily Show host Ronny Chieng celebrated the midterm elections by participating in a segment titled \"Marry, F—k, Kill\" with various members of the Trump administration. Chieng proclaimed, \"There are no more important questions to be asked!\" He referenced a clip of President Trump being asked which of his administration members is the \"best-looking,\" with the choice being between Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Chieng responded to the clip, stating, \"Okay, you know what? There are no more important questions to be asked! We are done here.\" He added, \"That’s a demeaning question that no one should have to answer... But if you asked me, I would f—k JD Vance, marry Marco Rubio and kill myself.\"\n\nUpon receiving applause from the studio audience, Chieng joked, \"Thank you for cheering for my suicide.\" However, he clarified, \"I’m not going to tell anyone how to vote, mostly because if you haven’t voted yet, it's too late. The polls are closed.\" Chieng suggested that if Democrats were to take power, they would finally have a dominant party focused on serious issues rather than the physical attractiveness of their candidates.\n\nUnfortunately, Chieng’s projection was followed by a Democratic ad featuring the word \"hot\" over the faces of several rising Democratic stars. He subsequently noted, \"Some of those are pity hots.\" Chieng joked, \"Not to call anyone out specifically, but you know how sometimes there's a group photo of hotties where the overall average is definitely giving one person a boost? That’s [Democratic Maine Senator-elect] Troy Jackson, okay?\" He added, \"This is so stupid! I’m not voting for Democrats because their candidates are hot. I’m voting for them because George Soros pays me to.\"\n\nGood leadership, Chieng argued, doesn't have anything to do with being hot. He referenced The Founding Fathers, stating, \"Have you seen The Founding Fathers? There’s a reason their main dating pool was their own slaves, okay?\" This joke was met with shocked groans and appalled gasps from the Daily Show audience. Chieng replied, \"Yeah, that’s right. Slavery is bad.\" He concluded by saying, \"Maybe neither party is giving voters the best reasons for making a choice, but for some reason, a lot of people voted today anyway.\"",
