"Now that President Trump's impeachment trial is wrapping up, a big question is: What did his supporters think of the scandal?" Trevor Noah said on Monday's Daily Show. Jordan Klepper visited last week's Trump rally in Des Moines, Iowa, to find out. The responses from Trump's fans outside the rally were not surprising — impeachment was a partisan "sham" and Trump "did nothing wrong" — but Klepper found that if you ask the question in the right way, these voters didn't approve of Trump's conduct, either. He also found comedic utility in follow-up questions.
