Trevor Noah Backlash Grows as Anti-Semitic, Misogynist Posts by New 'Daily Show' Host Surface

South African comedian Trevor Noah was announced as Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" successor on Monday, but on Tuesday there was a growing backlash over Noah's Twitter account, which is filled with anti-Semitism and misogyny, critics said.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency were the first to highlight Noah's tweets, and The New York Times reported that he responded to critics with a tweet on Tuesday morning, but soon backtracked. 

"Twitter does not have enough characters to respond to all the characters on Twitter," Noah tweeted just before 9 a.m. Eastern Time. The tweet was soon deleted.

Gathered below are a selection of controversial tweets from Noah, as well as people's reactions to them.

Originally when men proposed they went down on one knee so if the woman said no they were in the perfect uppercut position.

Jews, "untermenschen", "fat chicks" & "girls with big asses" - subjects of @Trevornoah's low-brow humour. Jon Stewart's replacement, folks!
