Comedy Central’s The Daily Show took the air early Friday morning for a live reaction show to day four of the Republican National Convention. Host Jordan Klepper was not happy that Republicans are simultaneously claiming that God spared Donald Trump’s life on Saturday while continuing to reject gun control.

Introducing a montage of conservative media personalities, Republican politicians, and Trump campaign officials, Klepper declared, “This one seemed to have a higher purpose.”

After the montage, Klepper returned to quip, “If God did save Trump from that bullet, he kind of procrastinated till the last second, didn't He? He could have stopped the gunman at any point during the day, but instead, he waited until the bullet was in the air and went, ‘Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! That was close. I got to stop looking at my phone all the time.”
