[See NewsBusters for more.] The Daily Show host Trevor Noah is not who most people would have predicted would be the one most likely to defend Canadian truckers protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates, but on Monday's show on Comedy Central, Noah did just that. Not only did Noah see why mandates for truckers are silly, but he also defended the protestors against the few bad actors that have showed up at the protests.
Showing more nuance than establishment journalists, Noah saw merits to the truckers' argument, "But yeah, thousands of these truckers have ground Canada's capitol city to a halt and I'm all for vaccines but I do get why the truckers wouldn't think that they need them. I mean, think about it, they spend all day, every day alone in their trucks."
