"The Daily Show" had some fun at the expense of CNN over what appeared to be a premature "cut" to the "wrong black guy" during Wednesday's impeachment-inquiry hearing.
The show's Twitter account shared a CNN clip showing House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., calling on Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., to begin his line of questioning for the impeachment witnesses. However, the next shot showed Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who was sitting next to Richmond -- before the camera operator quickly panned the shot to the correct congressman.
"CNN cut to the wrong black guy," the show tweeted.

However, "The Daily Show" then fact-checked CNN with a side-by-side comparison of CNN's coverage versus C-SPAN, MSNBC, and Fox News, showing CNN being the only network to cut prematurely to Jeffries.
