As the Doctor once said, “Run!”
After the Brexit vote, Donald Trump praised the Scottish people for voting to leave the European Union. Unfortunately, Scotland voted against Brexit, and is being dragged along by English voters who wanted to leave.
On Full Frontal, host Samantha Bee employed Scottish-born actor, David Tennant, to read out some of the concerned tweets Scottish voters directed at Trump after hearing the news — complete with very entertaining insults and swears that only the good people of Scotland could dream up.
Bee also did a longer monologue about Brexit on her show, reflecting the fears a lot of Americans have after seeing a campaign based on xenophobia and anti-globalization can really sway voters, even in 2016.
Bee noted that the vote is a clear example of why Donald Trump can actually win the next election, and American voters should fight against it.
“Trump’s brand of right-wing, racist, anti-immigrant demagoguery isn’t American,” Bee said. “It’s a European import. And if we’re smart, we’ll stop it at the border and send it back where it came from.”
At the end of her segment with Tennant, who played the 10th Doctor on Doctor Who, she asked whether a Time Lord like Tennant could help us all go back in time and stop the Brexit vote from happening.
Even a Time Lord can’t save us now.
