Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” was criticized on Tuesday night for suggesting that the entire state of Florida should be blown off the U.S. map.
Shortly after polls closed in the Sunshine State, the verified Twitter account of “The Daily Show” tweeted a video of Florida being blown up accompanied by the caption, “Do we have this technology yet?”
The tweet came as the swing state appeared to favor President Trump, implying that the liberal show wanted to blow Florida to smithereens for supporting the incumbent.

Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” was blasted on Tuesday night for suggesting that the entire state of Florida should be blown off the map.
