Jemaine Clement went viral with his shutdown of this objection to his New Zealand Covid comparison
Over on Twitter, Jemaine Clement is as disbelieving as presumably everyone else at what is going on at the White House following Donald Trump’s return from hospital after being treated for Covid-19.
He took to Twitter to highlight a few statistics after Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (who has tested positive for Covid-19) had this to say.
Current active cases in NZ: 37
in the White House: 34 https://t.co/oMcekPeM1i— Jemaine Clement (@AJemaineClement) October 8, 2020
Except this person on Twitter said it wasn’t a fair comparison.
Shutting down NZ is not the same as shutting down the USA. Not even close.

“Shutting down NZ is not the same as shutting down the USA. Not even close.”
And Clement, of Flight of the Conchords and What We Do In the Shadows fame, had the perfect response.
In not comparing NZ to the USA, I'm comparing it to one of the most secure BUILDINGS in the world. You couldn't keep it out of a fucking building? https://t.co/Qyl9AdRKgp

Boom. Although Clement is rather good at this sort of thing. You’ll probably remember this one …
Hey Jemaine, Why did you stop being funny?

Because I wanted to see what it was like to be John Meffen. https://t.co/egSsALe1bP
