In the clip above, Daily Show host Jordan Klepper shares footage of people yelling "pedophile protector" at Trump on two different occasions.
"Wow, show some respect for the office. That's 'President Pedophile Protector'!" says Klepper. "Why does this keep happening? Is it the same guy? Is it something in the water?
