GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz is moving forward with an event at an Iowa shooting range — just two days after a shooting spree in California left 14 dead and 21 injured.

“Fourteen people just lost their lives in a shooting, and Ted Cruz’s first thought is, ‘Oh, that reminds me, gotta send out my invites to my gun party,'” Trevor Noah said on “The Daily Show” on Thursday night. “Yeah, that seems like something you’d only do if you were an asshole.”

Noah said he’s hardly alone in his opinion, and played clips of news stories that show both Republicans and Democrats who don’t particularly care for the Texas senator.

“A lot of Republicans consider him the worst Cruz,” Noah said. “And that includes the Poop Cruise.”

But could that make him the unifying force the country is looking for?

“Maybe Ted Cruz is the leader that America needs. He’s the first person in recent memory who’s been able to unite people of both parties in their hatred of him,” Noah said. “And maybe, just maybe for that reason, we might all grow to love him… but probably not.”
