The Daily Show drew widespread social-media condemnation Monday for a tweet reacting to the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Texas regulations on abortion clinics. “Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas!” wrote the show’s official Twitter account. Condemnation of the tweet was swift and transcended political boundaries—from a Fox News pundit to BuzzFeed reporters to an ESPN personality to self-described pro-choice Twitter users. The show later addressed the controversy with another tweet: “Friends, we’re certainly not promoting abortions. Just excited about #SCOTUS reaffirming right to choose.”
