Trevor Noah Slams Peter Strzok’s ‘Bullsh*t’ GoFundMe Page: ‘There Are Cancer Patients On That Site!’
On Thursday night, Trevor Noah took aim at the GoFundMe page set up for fired FBI agent Peter Strzok.
Strzok, who previously headed the Russia and Clinton investigations, was officially fired this week after anti-Trump text made during the 2016 election had surfaced. And this week, friends of Strzok set up a GoFundMe campaign in order to raise money for “legal costs and his lost income.”
The targets were first set at $150,000 and $350,000, but they were easily reached. Now, the target is $500,000 and he has already raised over $426,000.
The Daily Show host called it “bullsh*t” that people are allowed to ask for more money after they’ve reached their goals.
“Because seriously, half a million dollars on a GoFundMe just for hating Donald Trump…! There are cancer patients on that site that are like, ‘Hey! We hate him too, can you help me pay for my treatment?'”
He then brought on Daily Show correspondent Michael Kosta, who explained that there are “big bucks” for “hating on Donald Trump.” He pointed to the $500,000 raised for fired Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and the $7 million raised by Green Party candidate Jill Stein for recount efforts immediately after the election.
“And I get it. People are desperate for anything that can hurt Trump even a little bit, but that’s how scams work by preying on the most desperate,” Kosta told Noah. “Take James Comey. For a year, everyone is furious at that seven-foot freak for basically getting Trump elected/ Then he writes a book saying he actually hates Trump, and the Resistance starts making it rain.”
