Trevor Noah has criticised US senator Tom Cotton for describing slavery as a “necessary evil upon which this union was built”.
Noah then played a video segment featuring a mock advertisement for “the Tom Cotton lesson plan for slavery”, which presented a curriculum proudly devoid of any mention of race.
Speaking on The Daily Social Distancing Show, Noah dedicated a segment to addressing Cotton’s remarks.
“Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up,” the presenter said.
