NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In a humorous digital segment, 'The Daily Show' correspondent Desi Lydic addressed Donald Trump's claim that the 2022 FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate was actually a government-sanctioned assassination attempt on the former president.

Lydic playfully mocked Trump's assertion by creating new nicknames for President Biden, such as 'John Wilkes Biden' and 'Double Joe Seven'.



 

Desi Lydic skewers Trump's 'assassination plot' claims with humor

Lydic broke down Biden's alleged "assassination plot" in a lighthearted manner, translating the complex political situation into more relatable terms for viewers.

By poking fun at Trump's conspiracy theories and the GOP's inconsistent messaging regarding Biden's competence, Lydic highlighted the absurdity of the situation while providing commentary on the current political climate.

“John Wilkes Biden approved a raid on Mar-a-Lago where FBI agents were authorized to use deadly force,” she explained.

Lydic added, “The FBI was 100% out for blood — and if Trump wasn’t 100% 1,200 miles away in a different state, they would’ve gotten it. Nice try 00-Biden, or is it Double Joe Seven?”

“The FBI said this is ‘standard protocol,’” Lydic continued.

She then brought far-right Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene into things, saying, “Who are you going to believe, the FBI or the chairwoman of the House CrossFit Committee?”

Desi Lydic tags Joe Biden as 'a senile old fool'

Earlier this week, the Republican Party publicly suggested that the 2022 FBI search of Mar-a-Lago was actually orchestrated by President Biden.

However, this allegation has since been debunked.

On the show, correspondent Lydic sarcastically refuted the conspiracy theory, stating, "Don't get it twisted. Biden was locked and loaded with a custom glizzy [slang for gun] ready to pop a hot one in Trump's fat dome."

She continued, "And it all went through the FBI: The Federal Biden of I-ssassination."

Lydic concluded her bit by highlighting the ability of Trump supporters to portray Biden as both incompetent and dangerously competent. "Joe Biden is a senile old fool — who also masterminded an elaborate multi-agency assassination plot," the comedian joked.

"The man is incompetent, and also dangerously competent."Lydic's commentary follows a similar mocking of the political conspiracy theory by guest host Michael Kosta on the May 22 episode of the show.
