Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Michael Kosta joined forces with Jordan Klepper on Thursday to dumb down the definition of what it means to be an “insane extremist” as they condemned new acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao for opposing the use of drag queens in recruitment videos.
Kosta also attacked Cao for remarks he made during his 2024 Senate campaign where he said there was an increase in witchcraft activity in Monterey, California, and that should not be allowed to happen in Virginia. Witches aside, Kosta wondered, “Why—I mean—why is everybody they appoint so [bleep]ing crazy? Can they just find a normal person with a normal head on his shoulders who believes normal things? What kind of sailors does this guy even want to recruit?”
In a clip of his debate with Sen. Tim Kaine, Cao was shown alluding to a 2023 Navy recruitment campaign when he declared, “When you are using a, you know, drag queen to, you know, recruit for the Navy, that's not the people we want. What we need is alpha males and alpha females.”
