Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng welcomed Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to the Tuesday taping of The Daily Show for a short two-question interview. Chieng’s first question was simply to ask how Wu became mayor, while the second put the ball on the tee for her to deliver her ode to sanctuary cities. Afterwards, Chieng would heap praise on his guest, telling her she is “the best.”
Chieng praised Wu’s recent Congressional testimony, “But right now, it feels like everyone, you know, politicians, everyone hates politicians now more than ever. Recently, you got, I guess you got—you testified in Congress about sanctuary cities, which is one issue in many things, and you defended yourself well.”
He then wondered, “What do you say to the people who, in your constituency who might feel like, ‘Hey, why are we doing this? What is the big deal with this sanctuary city thing? If people are illegally in the country, shouldn't we arrest them and get rid of them? What is the big deal?’”
