”Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee took aim at Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on Wednesday over his recent tweet lauding white nationalism.

Bee began the “what does a white dude have to say to get fired?” segment of her show by celebrating the loss of far-right candidate Geert Wilders in the Netherlands’ general election. But she said Wilders still had a “superfan” in King, who praised the Dutch politician on Sunday.

King’s ideas “sound better in Middle High German,” Bee quipped. Even President Donald Trump’s administration thought the congressman’s comments went too far.

“Even the Breitbart White House was like, no man, too racist,” she said.
