Michael Kosta wasn’t spellbound by new acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao’s past comments about witchcraft ― and the “Daily Show” host upped the volume to let the audience know. (Watch the video below.)
Kosta noted with relief on Thursday that Cao has decades of military experience as a Navy combat veteran ― unlike his predecessor, John Phelan, who had none.
But the comedian saw toil and trouble in complaints the new leader aired in a 2023 interview about Monterey, California, when he ran for senator in Virginia.
“Monterey is a very dark place now,” Cao said. “A lot of witchcraft. The Wiccan community has really taken over there. And, we can’t let that happen in Virginia.”
An incredulous Kosta cracked facetiously, “Oh yeah, we can’t let Virginia be taken over by witches.”
