      Comedian Eric Andre Gets Roughed Up by Conspiracy Theorists at the RNC

      WTF

      Of all the late-night TV segments from Cleveland this week, Eric Andre’s was one of the most insane.

      Earlier this week, we got a preview of what comedian Eric Andre was up to in Cleveland when he crashed an Alex Jones rally and when he was invited onstage, proceeded to tell the conspiracy theorist radio host and Donald Trump supporter, “I want you to have sex with my wife.”

      There was a lot more where that came from.

      In a new clip from Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show, the comedian can be seen inside the Republican National Convention hall trolling any Trump supporters who would talk to him. “Are you anti-abortion?” he asked one woman. “Because I’m Uncle Abortion. How ‘bout I knock you up and we get rid of the dang thing?”

      Outside the hall, wearing a red “Make America Vape Again” hat, he posed as the host of “Interview TV,” who specifically aimed to interrupt other reporters’ live shots. Pretending to take a leak, he exclaimed, “Black Lives Bladder!”

      But as Andre clearly knew, it was his interaction with Alex Jones that was the highlight of his coverage. Jones erroneously assumed Andre was with The Daily Show, but the comedian corrected him: “I’m not on The Daily Show, I’m on MySpace.”

      As he was being pushed and shoved from the stage, one InfoWars fan screamed at him, “You fucking scumbag piece of shit, get the fuck out of here,” while another man yelled, “You’re not Martin Luther King!”

      Of all the late-night TV coverage from the RNC this week, Andre’s piece may not have been the funniest or the most necessary, but it was definitely one of the most insane.
