Daily Shows Desi Lydic responds to Marco Rubio using rap lyrics to talk about Iran
"Daily Show" host Desi Lydic has responded to Marco Rubio using rap lyrics to talk about the war in Iran.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio can't seem to stop slipping rap lyrics into important speeches.
His latest offence? Describing the top government officials in Iran as "insane in the brain", in an apparent reference to the 1993 Cypress Hill song.
"Really, Marco?" says Daily Show host Desi Lydic in the clip above. "A little inappropriate to be talking about old rap lyrics while you're talking about war. I mean, can you imagine your doctor telling you, 'If you're looking for the tumor on this scan, whoomp, there it is. I'm afraid it's actually spread from the windows to the wall...'"
Lydic goes on to play a montage of other times Rubio has referenced rap lyrics during speeches, before placing a hand up to her ear piece.
"I'm sorry," she says, "we're getting breaking news that rap is no longer cool."
