“Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng on Thursday ruthlessly mocked the two progressive political consultants responsible for recruiting the now-disgraced Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner.
Reacting to a Wall Street Journal interview with Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, the duo responsible for originally finding Platner, Chieng couldn’t help but take some jabs during several awkward moments.
“Is this guy going through puberty in real time?” Chieng said, mocking Moraff’s voice cracking during the interview. “But, hey, grown-up McLovin and the lady who runs a cat cafe, they’re professionals, right? How did they shit the bed so hard?”
Chieng then played a clip from the interview, where Fan can be seen laughing when asked how they went about vetting Platner before launching him onto the national stage.
An exasperated Chieng rubbed his eyes in frustration at the clip, before asking: “How are these people the kingmakers?”
“This is why we need to stop taking political advice from Dungeons and Dragons polycules,” Chieng added.
He added that Moraff and Fan were seemingly more concerned with finding a candidate who “looked like an authentic Maine man” than doing their “due diligence.”
Platner announced on Wednesday he would drop out of the race for Senate after facing multiple allegations of sexual assault.
