Chieng reacted to a clip of Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) telling Fox News<\/a> that Vought \u2014 a key architect of the Project 2025<\/a> right-wing policy blueprint who met with Trump<\/a> to determine which \u201cDemocrat Agencies\u201d could face permanent cuts \u2014 has been preparing for such a moment \u201csince puberty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cLook, I know puberty can get weird, but this guy\u2019s balls dropped and he was like, \u2018Oh, man, I want to fire people in the government so bad, especially Democrats<\/a>,\u2019\u201d joked Chieng, who pretended to pleasure himself under his desk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is probably the only 13-year-old in history who hid a copy of the federal budget inside a Penthouse,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Moments earlier, Chieng declared that Vought may be \u201ceven more excited about tearing down the government\u201d than Trump, who claimed that \u201ca lot of good<\/a>\u201d can come from shutdowns earlier this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
