After the Trump administration reassigned Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino on Tuesday, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show doubled down on the idea that Bovino led some Nazi-like operation in Minneapolis and cited his clothes and haircut as proof.

Correspondent Troy Iwata told host-of-the-week Desi Lydic that the final straw for Trump was “an image issue. He likes a strong leader, and as you can see, Bovino falls short of that. Literally. I mean, with respect, he looks like he's leaving his shift at the chocolate factory.”

Lydic pretended to be above the idea of criticizing Bovino’s physical appearance, “Okay, Troy, I don't think we need to criticize his appearance here. I think it's more relevant to focus on his sinister behavior in the crackdown. And also the fact that he threw tear gas like a mathlete whose arm fell asleep.”
