Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host of the week, Desi Lydic, welcomed Michigan State Senator and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow to Tuesday’s show to discuss her book Hate Won’t Win. Both host and guest lamented that “hate is having a moment” after the 2024 election as McMorrow tried to sanitize her record that led her to become famous in the first place.

Lydic then put the ball on the tee again by alluding to a speech McMorrow gave where she tried to appoint herself as one of the country’s leaders of the religious left, “This title, Hate Won't Win, came from a really powerful moment from a speech that you made on the floor of your State Senate in Michigan. Talk about that moment where you not only found your voice but also realized the power that it had.”
McMorrow recalled, “So, I woke up one morning on a regular day, and there was a screenshot of an email on Twitter, and it was an email that was sent out by one of my Republican colleagues, mind you, not someone I was running against. Just somebody in a different part of the state that I served with, fundraising for herself. And in the email, she accused me by name of wanting to groom and sexualize kindergartners and wanting 8-year-olds to believe they are responsible for slavery. And that's a dark day.”
