George H.W. Bush cried in 1999 recalling the moments leading up to the war in Iraq. Dwight D. Eisenhower cried in 1952 after a speech to the 82nd Airborne. George W. Bush cried during a Medal of Honor ceremony in 2007. And on January 5, President Obama cried during a speech on gun control while thinking about the 20 elementary-school students and six staff members slaughtered at Sandy Hook in 2012. Since then, the president has faced ridicule from the right for a variety of nonsensical reasons. And last night on The Daily Show, Trevor Noah delivered possibly the greatest monologue of his career so far while addressing Obama's passion:

"See that thing you're feeling right now, that pain in your chest that comes from watching someone weep on national television, because he knows that society can do better than to file the shooting of children under 'shit happens.' That feeling is how you know that you're human. No matter how opposed to Obama's policies some people may be, or how cynical their politics, they have to at least acknowledge and respect the raw authenticity of that emotion. Or so you would think."

He then played a clip of the ridiculous arguments from the right asking why he didn't cry after San Bernardino or the Paris attacks, including one quote from Fox News' Andrea Tantaros: "I would check that podium for like a raw onion, or some no more tears. I just, it's not really believable."

Noah's response:

"Are you f***ing kidding me? Shedding tears when you think of murdered children is not really believable? You know what? There is something here that is not really believable, the fact that the rest of us have to share the title of human being with you."

As The New York Times said in a front page editorial last month, "It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency." This isn't about politics any longer. It never should have been.
