Daily Show Host Defends Syrian Refugees By Bringing Up Spanish Inquisition

[See NewsBusters for more.] Liberal Daily Show host Trevor Noah on Tuesday reached back to 1478 and the Spanish Inquisition as a way of attacking Republican opposition to Syrian refugees in the United States. Noah recoiled at Marco Rubio referencing the Nazis as he critiqued Hillary Clinton’s failure to use the words radical Islam.  Noah mocked, “Islam is a religion. It's open for violent interpretation and it’s open for peaceful interpretation. Just like how Christianity can encompass both the Spanish Inquisition and the little old lady in church who keeps talking to you about cat's diabetes medicine. So, basically, torture either way.”
