Play of the Day: Ben Carson's Gifted Hands Can't Trace a Map
This week, the Carson campaign released a graphic that totally rearranged New England.
Bobby Jindal suspended his 2016 campaign earlier this week after he never gained any significant traction with Republican voters. Jindal's exit was fodder for late-night comedy, with Late Night's Seth Meyers, The Daily Show's Trevor Noah and The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon all mocking his low support. Noah and Late Show's Stephen Colbert also joked about Jindal's campaign announcement via a nannycam video of he and his wife promising a puppy to their kids if he won the White House. Remember: Only winners get puppies.
Ben Carson's campaign made headlines for the wrong reasons again when it released a map showing states with governors pledging to reject Syrian refugees. Unfortunately, the map totally rearranged New England and Meyers and The Nightly Show's Larry Wilmore noticed. Meyers joked that Carson did something no terrorist could: Completely wipe a whole state off the map and Wilmore wondered why Carson couldn't just trace a correct map. After all, he does have gifted hands.
