“Daily Show” correspondent Josh Johnson on Thursday said Donald Trump has “pissed off” his “most important” base — “crazy-ass lunatics” — as he deals with the fallout of his administration’s handling of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
Johnson turned to coverage of convicted Jan. 6 rioter Jacob Chansley — who became known as the “QAnon Shaman” after he donned a horned headdress and makeup during the insurrection — appearing to slam the president just months after receiving a pardon from him.
“Fuck this stupid piece of shit... What a fraud...,” wrote Chansley in a since-deleted X post under a post from Trump featuring his 2023 mugshot.
“Like, wow. Do you know how down bad you are when the guys who went to prison for you are turning on you?” Johnson quipped.
He continued, “He went to jail for Trump. This would be like if Nelson Mandela came out of prison, like, ‘You know what? I’m done with Black people.’”
