‘The Daily Show’ Regifts Some Holiday Swag to the Oregon Militia

Share:

Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper feels for the anti-government protestors occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon right now…

…And he figured that giving away all the crap they got for the holidays they didn’t want was the least they could do.

For those unaware of the situation, a heavily armed group of local ranchers and members of an American separatist militia calling itself “Citizens for Constitutional Freedom” seized federal buildings in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon on Sunday, engaging law enforcement in what they claim will be a long-term standoff. Going into the fourth day of the engagement this Wednesday, the outfit is apparently running low on supplies. Members of the group have posted requests for supplies from their supporters. While they brought plenty of weapons, the group is apparently running low on socks, “snacks” and energy drinks.

In response, Klepper, The Daily Show‘s official “militia correspondent,” put together a care package for the group. As he and Trevor Noah go through his contributions, however it becomes clear that, just like the occupiers, Klepper has his own agenda. Watch the video below.
