Daily Show guest host Sarah Silverman gave right-wing figures a lesson in what woke really means during her monologue on Wednesday night.
The topic came up earlier this week in the White House briefing room when Newsmax reporter James Rosen asked , To wit, is President Biden woke?
Silverman mocked his word choice a person who says to wit is usually a t-wat and offered a free lesson in how to do his job.
This guy really thinks Is Joe Biden woke was like a hard-hitting question, she said. The real hard-hitting question would be, Is Joe Biden awake?
That led her into a deeper look at the issue of wokeness that those on the right use dismissively to describe everything they dont like or understand.

What I know woke to mean is like, learning new things about people or the world and then acting accordingly like basic kindness, maybe a gesture of care to people who are more vulnerable than you, she said. You know what? Actually you wouldnt like it, its Jesus stuff.
Silverman said right-wingers often complain that wokeness is being pushed on them.
Nobodys pushing shit on you, she fired back. Youre acting like a beta cuck.
Then she offered up some blunt talk to explain what she thinks is really going on:
Woke for the right is really just an umbrella term so that they dont have to say specifically that theyre pieces of shit. It feels cooler to say Im not woke! than the truth, which is Im terrified of what I dont understand and I only know how to process that as anger because I cant look inward. To wit!
