Bono Suggests Sending Comedians Against ISIS to Senate

Testifying before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs at a hearing on violent extremism and foreign assistance, U2 singer Bono tells New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen that maleness is elusive in a world where materialism decides machismo, suggesting that comedy be deployed in the Middle East to counter national socialism, the terrorist group Daesh or ISIL, observing that the dadas and surrealists were the first Adolf Hitler threw out of Germany, suggesting that the Senate send in American comedians Amy Schumer, Chris Rock and Sacha Baron Cohen. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken tells the Senator about direct messaging efforts of the United States by elevating local, credible voices.
