Trevor Noah lets Dennis Hastert, Catholic Church have it

"You'd think something as awful as molesting children would have no statute of limitations"

“You’d think something as awful as molesting children would have no statute of limitations,” Noah said. “Removing statutes of limitations on child abuse shouldn’t be a controversial topic. Who in God’s name would even fight you on this?”

Answer: the Catholic Church.

“The Catholic Church thinks we shouldn’t punish people for crimes that happened a long time ago,” Noah added. “And yet, one woman ate an apple 6,000 years ago and we’re still paying for it.”

Can't have that.

Money is the root of all evil, or some such two-faced nonsense as that.
