Desi Lydic, a correspondent on “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah,” ridiculed Republican hypocrisy in a new “Foxsplains” segment Thursday.

In the recurring bit, Lydic pretends to have binged hundreds of hours of programming on the conservative network Fox News — before offering up some very questionable hot takes.

The new clip focused on Republican Herschel Walker, a U.S. senate nominee from Georgia who is running on an anti-abortion platform. The ex-football star came under intense scrutiny this week over allegations that he gave money to a former girlfriend for an abortion. But despite the apparent hypocrisy, many GOP lawmakers and voters have dismissed the reports.

Lydic, pretending to have swallowed the right-wing defense of Walker wholesale, mockingly railed in the segment that he was a “victim of cancel culture” and hailed him as a true representation of American values.
