Amateur rapper, boxer, extremely public Trump supporter, and sticker business CEO Anthony Constantino won the Republican House nomination in New York's North Country on Wednesday. And if you haven't heard the businessman-turned-politician's apparently hip hop releases like his album titled Thank You, President Trump, one Constantino says he made "to persuade all Americans to be more patriotic and to see the world as we see it, using the power of music," The Daily Show's Josh Johnson has done it for you.

"As Black people, I know we had our fun, but I think we need to let rap go," the host joked on Wednesday night. "It's over now. We lost it."

Johnson then played footage from Constantino's racist attempt at a diss track against New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, and it's a stream of insults that see rhythm and rhyme as optional.

"Did he just get so mad he forgot he was supposed to be rapping?" said Johnson. "Like, that's not even a song anymore. It's just a guy on the corner going '...and another thing!'"
