Trevor Noah, the host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” is the latest Hollywood “elite” to be tossed under the bus for “jokes” he made years ago, proving once again that what you say during whatever point of your life, it will come back to haunt you thanks to the Internet.

What a wonderful time to be alive, right?

Unfortunately, the left themselves have created the rules when it comes to digging up someone’s past and using it as fodder against them. It’s messed up no matter who is doing it, but that hasn’t stopped people from using the past as a weapon to further a political agenda.

In 2013, the comedian made a joke about Aboriginal Australian women during his “It’s My Culture” special, according to ABC.

“And I know some of you are sitting there now going, ‘Oh Trevor, yeah, but I’ve never seen a beautiful Aborigine’. Yeah, but you know what you say? You say ‘yet’, that’s what you say; ‘yet.’ Because you haven’t seen all of them, right?

“Plus it’s not always about looks, maybe Aboriginal women do special things, maybe they’ll just like, jump on top of you and be like,” Noah continued before he cupped his hands to his mouth to make the sound of a didgeridoo, an instrument played by Indigenous people. “All women of every race can be beautiful.”

A clip from Noah’s stand-up special surfaced on Twitter Saturday.

The video appears to have been shared first by Fred Leone on Facebook with the hashtag, #boycotttrevornoahinoz.

It quickly drew negative reactions and ended up on Twitter, but it went viral after former national league rugby player Joe Williams tweeted about it.

Hey @Trevornoah, your comments about Aboriginal @IndigenousX in this clip are utterly unacceptable! As a man of colour, you are usually in point with racism & divide – here you are perpetrating & encouraging racial abuse!! #boycotttrevornoahinoz https://t.co/UNXE8TlBtq RT

Noah responded to the controversy after the tweet went viral, stating he’d never make a joke like that again.

@joewilliams_tew you're right. After visiting Australia's Bunjilaka museum and learning about aboriginal history first hand I vowed never to make a joke like that again. And I haven't. I'll make sure the clip from 2013 is not promoted in any way.

Due to his comments, Noah could be looking at a boycott and some protests during his Australian tour next month. Noah himself is from South Africa.

What would’ve went a really long way in making this whole situation a lot better would’ve been for Noah to actually make a real apology instead of beating around the bush and being vague like he was being here.

However, to be completely honest, the comments made so long ago in the past shouldn’t be held against Noah now. He’s obviously grown up and changed a lot over the years, as we all do. Why should be he held responsible for something he said years ago that was crude and crass?

If you examined the lives of just about every soul on the planet, you’d discover unsavory behavior that took place in the days of youth. Why is a person suddenly now held accountable for idle words spoken at a time of immaturity in a person’s life?

It’s truly despicable.

You can tell a lot about a White House by the extracurricular nonsense that hits the press surrounding it.

For instance, after one of President Joe Biden’s dogs began biting random people on the grounds, we started hearing murmurs of just how terse and stressful the place had become, with dog behavior experts suggesting that the mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have a lot to do with the aggression.

This week, the Biden administration beget more bad behavior, but this time it wasn’t from one of the First Pets.

Two U.S. Secret Service agents in South Korea were sent stateside ahead of President Biden’s arrival following their involvement in an off-duty alcohol-related incident.

The two agents, whose identities have not been made public, are on their way back to Washington, D.C. where they will face disciplinary action, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.

Both agents apparently became intoxicated while not on duty. One of the agents then got into an altercation with a cab driver.

There could be more trouble coming, as well.

In South Korea, officials send mediators to the scene of low-level disputes and then determine if criminal charges would be filed.

One of the agents was interviewed by authorities and no charges have been filed.

The government released one of its usual, dry, boilerplate-esque missives.

“The Secret Service is aware of an off-duty incident involving two employees which may constitute potential policy violations,” USSS chief spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News. “We have very strict protocols and policies for all employees and we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.”

There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations, with a notable incident having occurred in 2012, involving Barack Obama’s agents and a Colombian prostitute.
