WATCH: Comedian Hasan Minhaj Skewers Steve Bannon and It’s Brilliant
Best ‘Joke’ of the Night?
Comedian Hasan Minhaj was a hit at Saturday Night’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. The Senior Correspondent from Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” an American-born Muslim of Indian descent, skewered the President and his administration like no one else in recent memory has previous occupants of the Oval Office, and it was brilliant.
According to Minhaj, President Trump is the “Liar-in-Chief,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a racist who prefers pre-Civil War re-enactments, Press Secretary Sean Spicer is a Holocaust denier, and Chief Strategist Steve Bannon is well, watch:

Yes, on national television, Minhaj brilliantly called Steve Bannon a Nazi.
