Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele don’t agree with Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s announcement that voting rights should be restored for convicted felons.
The “Key and Peele” comedy duo appeared on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” Tuesday night dressed as recently released felons to explain why they believe convicts should be denied the right to vote.
“We wanna vote, but we fellas don’t have the aptitude to make informed political decisions,” said Key, playing “Darius.”
Peele, named Killa B. Killed in the sketch, added, “You can’t trust convicts … we savages, son!”
Darius went to prison for tax evasion, while Killa was sentenced for “super murder.” And Killa added that he, like many other convicts, isn’t up to date on campaign finance because he’s too “busy taking night classes so I can file legal appeals on my own behalf, I’m a fucking maniac!”

It all started with an anti-Trump Facebook ad targeted at Mormons from the super PAC America Awesome, which featured a photo of Melania Trump posing naked for GQ.

Taking offense to the perceived slight, Trump threatened to "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife Heidi. "Be careful, Lyin' Ted," he warned on Twitter.
"Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. #classless," responded Cruz.

On Wednesday, a story accusing Cruz of having affairs with five women appeared in The National Enquirer. Cruz denied the story, calling it "complete and utter lies" and "a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen."

While accusing Trump of planting the story, Cruz tried to talk around the word "ratfucking," derogatory slang for an especially dirty kind of political sabotage.
“He’s a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent,” Cruz said of a former Trump ally. “Well let me be clear, Mr. Trump may be a rat but I have no desire to copulate with him. And this garbage does not belong in politics.”

On Friday, Trump issued a statement on Facebook, denying the accusation that he planted the Enquirer story.
"While [The National Enquirer was] right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin’ Ted Cruz," he wrote.
