Trevor Noah on Thursday blasted fired FBI agent Peter Strzok for turning to the popular online fundraising site GoFundMe to help cover his legal costs and ‘lost income.’
The host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central also shamed the now-former member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team leading the Russia investigation for increasing the fundraising goal of the online campaign twice – first from $150,000 to $350,000, and then up to $500,000 – after the earlier targets had been quickly met.
The controversial fundraiser was launched by ‘Friends of Special Agent Peter Strzok’ on Monday, just hours after his lawyer announced that his client been fired by the FBI.[…]
On Thursday, Noah invited Daily Show correspondent Michael Kosta to further discuss Strzok’s unexpected windfall, and he said he was not surprised by people’s willingness to contribute to his campaign.
‘There’s big bucks in hating on Donald Trump,’ he said. ‘In 2016, my nana started knitting pussyhats. Two weeks ago, she bought a Ferrari.’
Kosta went on to quip that the fastest-growing sector of the economy is ‘Trump-hating late-night talk shows,’ and joked that even Animal Planet has jumped on the bandwagon by creating a show called ‘Ruff Night With Coco: She Goes There.’
He went on to say that ‘now you got guys like Peter Strzok who aren’t even making jokes… they just say, “I hate Trump,’ and the resistance opens up their wallets faster than Johnny Depp at a scarf depot.’
