Trevor Noah on Thursday blasted fired FBI agent Peter Strzok for turning to the popular online fundraising site GoFundMe to help cover his legal costs and 'lost income.'

The host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central also shamed the now-former member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team leading the Russia investigation for increasing the fundraising goal of the online campaign twice - first from $150,000 to $350,000, and then up to $500,000 - after the earlier targets had been quickly met.

The controversial fundraiser was launched by 'Friends of Special Agent Peter Strzok' on Monday, just hours after his lawyer announced that his client been fired by the FBI.

The FBI had been reviewing Strzok’s employment after the politically charged text messages that he exchange with his lover, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, were discovered last year.

Donald Trump’s allies have seized on the texts, in which the pair referred to the president as an ‘idiot’ and a ‘disaster,’ saying they show the investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia is tainted by political bias.

Strzok vigorously defended himself at a combative House hearing in July, insisting the texts were not indicative of political bias and had not infected his work on the Mueller investigation.

The lengthy description of the GoFundMe campaign characterized Strzok as 'a man who has spent his entire life working to help keep us and our nation safe,' as well as 'a proud husband and father, a veteran of the U.S. Army and counterintelligence Special Agent who spent more than two decades in a job he loved at the FBI.’

Noah criticized Strzok for increasing the fundraising goal from $150,000 to $350,000, and then up to $500,000

Daily Show correspondent Michael Kosta said he was not surprised by people's willingness to contribute to his campaign

The creators of the fundraiser promised that all funds collected through the site will be placed into a trust dedicated to covering Strzok’s 'hefty - and growing - legal costs and his lost income.'

‘We are asking you to support a man who has dedicated his life to defending America; to stand up for the freedoms on which this country was built and a government that truly serves the people by protecting all Americans, including dedicated government employees, from constantly being subjected to the whims and influence of politicians,’ the description read.

On Thursday, Noah invited Daily Show correspondent Michael Kosta to further discuss Strzok's unexpected windfall, and he said he was not surprised by people's willingness to contribute to his campaign.

‘There’s big bucks in hating on Donald Trump,' he said. 'In 2016, my nana started knitting pussyhats. Two weeks ago, she bought a Ferrari.’

Kosta went on to quip that the fastest-growing sector of the economy is ‘Trump-hating late-night talk shows,’ and joked that even Animal Planet has jumped on the bandwagon by creating a show called ‘Ruff Night With Coco: She Goes There.’

He went on to say that ‘now you got guys like Peter Strzok who aren't even making jokes… they just say, “I hate Trump,’ and the resistance opens up their wallets faster than Johnny Depp at a scarf depot.’
