Show of hands! Who buys The Daily Show's excuse for that sick abortion tweet?

As Twitchy told you, The Daily Show stepped in it big-time with this revolting tweet marking today’s Supreme Court ruling:

Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas!

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 27, 2016

After taking a royal beating, it seems that they’re trying to backpedal a bit. Unfortunately for them, this is the best they could come up with:

Friends, we’re certainly not promoting abortions. Just excited about #SCOTUS reaffirming right to choose.

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 27, 2016

Oh, is that all?

That's exactly what you're doing. Pretty trashy.

— Jason Jones (@jonesville) June 27, 2016

That's exactly what you are doing.

but you literally promoted abortions

— R A N D I (@EwRepublicans) June 27, 2016

By telling people to get pregnant and then get an abortion. https://t.co/diyM3HwNTz

um, you are DEFINITELY promoting abortions. Just FYI.

— ?llie (@allie_neri) June 27, 2016

So you stupidly promoted abortions because you were excited… about abortions. https://t.co/FK3L5VYynO

We're so excited that we think men should treat women like objects and leave them with all the responsibility! https://t.co/mhGAVNVsnG

First of all, we’re not your “friends,” ghouls.

And second of all, that excuse reeks of grade-A bullcrap.

BS

It was still a vile tweet, and the fact that you can't see that is truly sad.

— Patrick (@jd2319) June 27, 2016

If you have to explain the joke…it's a poor joke. It was a poor joke to begin with.
