Here’s everything the Daily Show got wrong and right about Helena — again

On Tuesday night, The Daily Show ran a segment http://www.cc.com/video-clips/c7h1xs/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-wilmot-collins–from-african-refugee-to-montana-mayor featuring Helena mayor Wilmot Collins.

Collins, a refugee from Liberia who came to Helena in 1994, beat former four-term mayor Jim Smith in last year’s mayoral election.

The segment was the second to feature Helena; another that ran in March mocked a pro-gun rally that drew about 150 people and was held the same day as a March For Our Lives event, which drew more than 1,000.

Much like the first segment, there’s some things Tuesday night’s spot got right. And some other bits? Well, them seem a little … off.
