“The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah is certainly trying his best to uphold the lofty standard set by his predecessor, Jon Stewart, by holding the powers-at-be accountable for their actions and, um, tweeting.

On Monday, Noah put together a segment attacking President-elect Donald Trump’s Twitter habits. However, Noah doesn’t go after Trump, but instead turns his glare on Trump’s enablers, the people around who refuse to rein him in — and not only that, but who actually defend some of his more outrageous tweets, such as his allegations that there were “millions” of fraudulent votes in the election that he won, and doing so without providing a shred of evidence that his claim is anywhere to close to truthful.

Here’s Noah:

“People always ask me, ‘Trevor, are you afraid of Donald Trump?’ I’m not afraid of Donald Trump, I’m afraid of the people who support Donald Trump. And I’m not referring to his voters. I’m speaking about the people on his team, the people who enable him. Because they know what he’s doing, they know when he’s doing something wrong. Here’s my view: A drunk is a drunk. But the person who encourages him to do drive, that’s an a–hole, and Trump has a lot of a–holes around him.”

Noah then introduced the The Daily Show Crapcatcher Award, which is designated for journalists who hold Trump’s enablers accountable. The first-ever Crapcatcher Award was given to ABC’s “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos for pressing Vice President-elect Mike Pence after he suggested he doesn’t know that allegations of “millions” of fraudulent votes made by President-elect Donald Trump on Twitter aren’t true, despite presenting absolutely no evidence to suggest it does exist. Pence suggested one thing refreshing about Trump is that he speaks his mind.

Stephanopoulos asked Pence: “Why is it refreshing to make false statements?”

Noah then gave an award to CNN’s Jake Tapper for pressing Trump team member Kellyanne Conway, who said Trump’s wild tweeting is acceptable presidential behavior because he is, after all, the president-elect.

Noah then offered another round of commentary:

“He saw the semantic BS Kellyanne Conway was pulling and he called her on it. Well done, Jake.

“So look, I get that it’s easy to get caught up in a wave of panic when watching Donald Trump tweet through his presidency. But look on the bright side, think about this, because of Trump’s tweets, Trump and his people, they can’t shade the truth, that’s what I love about this. Trump’s people they can’t shade the truth because he gives it to us unvarnished, it’s completely unvarnished. We will always know what he really thinks. And they can be like, oh no that’s now what he meant, and he’s like, no, that’s what I meant.

So I feel like we should embrace that there’s going to be a president that likes to communicate internet-style. Look on the bright side, he’s going to be the first president to use emojis in the State of the Union.”
