Trevor Noah cruelly mocks the masked man who wears a red pine tree on his head and compares himself to Rosa Park

On Thursday night, The Daily ShowTrevor Noah was aiming for a particularly absurd example of an anti-mask protest.

“While we are reminded of the seriousness of this pandemic, there are still some who see it as a small lighter,” announced Noah.

He then introduced a man named Adam Jenne from Cape Coral – yes, in Florida – who decided to cover his face on a recent United Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport by way of a mask. wear red smart underwear on top (for women wearing boots). He was subsequently kicked off the plane and barred from taking future United Airlines flights.

In a video he posted online after the ridiculous episode, Jenne said he’s been wearing his underwear over his head like a mask since the start of the pandemic, and even compared himself to Rosa Parks.

“Rosa Park? My man, don’t be so humble! You’re more than Rosa Parks! If you are, you’re the Martin Luther King of white guys comparing themselves to Black heroes without there’s no reason. Damn it!” Noah exclaims, adding, “You know, in fact, sometimes I think conservatives are right: America shouldn’t be teaching the history of racism in schools, because then at least white people won’t. know who to compare themselves to after they’ve been kicked off a plane for doing something bad.”

The comedian then suggested that probably Jenne just likes to wear her panties over her head and has used the pandemic as a convenient excuse to explain her strange behavior.

“And by the way, can we all agree that it’s not like this guy started sniffing slippers during a pandemic?” Noah asked. “I bet he went around for years like, ‘Wow, looks like I got kicked out of the dorm because I’m Rosa Parks in my sister’s underwear drawer again! Yes, someone has to do it! ‘”
