Just a day after Comedy Central announced Trevor Noah as Jon Stewart's replacement on The Daily Show, people are already calling for him to be fired. Why? Because we live in the digital age, where our internet pasts haunt us forever, and some Twitter sleuths have uncovered some pretty damaging old tweets from Trevor's account. Some of the tweets in question, which critics have labeled sexist and anti-Semitic, date as far back as 2009, while others are as recent as February 2015. But do you really these tweets are distasteful knowing he makes a living by making fun of people? Continue to see the tweets:
"Oh yeah the weekend. People are gonna get drunk & think that I'm sexy!" - fat chicks everywhere.
Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn't look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my german car!
Update: MSNBC's Anna Brand says Trevor Noah tweeted, then quickly deleted, a response to his critics this morning.
