'The Daily Show' sends Bricky, its border wall mascot, to troll Trump fans in Texas
Watch Next

Once again, The Daily Show has struck comedy gold.

Meet Bricky, a border wall mascot that the show sent to El Paso to talk to fans of President Trump ahead of his Monday night rally in El Paso, Texas. (That's the one where a Trump backer attacked a BBC cameraman.)

The Trump fans didn't disappoint -- exposing a lack of humanity and a deep ignorance while parroting Trump's talking points. From pointing out the flaws in plans to make Mexico pay for the border wall to fear-mongering stories about ISIS fighters being part of the caravan, Bricky let the pro-wall folks do the hard work for him.

In the end, the video winds up being almost as sad as it is funny, revealing just how easily some are manipulated by Trump's agenda. Especially at the moment when Bricky is escorted from the rally, shouting, "You're separating me from my family!"

Thank god for the joke because if we didn't laugh, we'd cry.
