Trevor Noah laid into the Iowa Republican Party on Tuesday night for not allowing ‘The Daily Show’ to attend a campaign event.

Most of the Republican presidential hopefuls attended Saturday’s ‘Growth and Opportunity Party’, which bills itself as “fall festival, featuring local Iowa food, drinks, games, and caucus politics.” The Iowa GOP granted press credentials to a host of organizations, but barred ‘The Daily Show’ due to fears that “they were going to make fun of Iowa.”

Noah insisted that he has “no beef with the state of Iowa.”

He said that party chairman Jeff Kaufmann “shouldn’t hide behind Iowa when the things you really don’t want people to make fun of are pretty obvious here. You don’t want people making fun of your terrible candidates and your ridiculous event.”

“As far as I’m concerned,” he added, “the Iowa GOP can suck its own caucus.”
