“Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta on Tuesday roasted Donald Trump’s former nominee to head the Office of Special Counsel over his response to a bombshell Politico report where he described having a “Nazi streak” at times.
Kosta highlighted several texts from Paul Ingrassia, who has since withdrawn from his confirmation hearing, showing that he’s lived more of a Nazi “lifestyle.”
Ingrassia reportedly used an Italian slur for Black people in one text, wrote “Never trust a chinaman or Indian” in another and — in a group chat with Republicans — called on Martin Luther King Jr.’s holiday to be tossed into Hell.
“Jesus Christ,” replied one person to the latter text.
Kosta quipped, “Wow! Wow! You know you’re racist when even the guys in your racist group chat are like, ‘Jesus Christ, that was racist!’”
