“Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta gave a brutal assessment of a Las Vegas hot spot that is allegedly frequented by FBI Director Kash Patel.

The allegations about Patel’s Vegas nights were featured in a bombshell report in The Atlantic detailing instances of “excessive drinking” and “unexplained absences,” all of which the FBI director has denied.

“It is a little weird that a man whose job is in Washington, D.C., also frequently goes to something called The Poodle Room in Las Vegas. But I’m sure The Poodle Room is a distinguished, respectable, hypoallergenic social club where important men network and exchange ideas,” Kosta said, before showing a supposed promotional video for the club.

“So, it’s a coke den,” Kosta responded. “Ladies, if you want to get an STD on a circular waterbed, might I recommend meeting a gentleman at The Poodle Room? Imagine you’re this guy at The Poodle Room. Just having a good time with your shirt unbuttoned all the way. And all of a sudden, you’re like, ‘Is that the FBI director throwing up on himself?’”

Patel has denied the claims made in The Atlantic article and has filed a $250 million lawsuit against the magazine.

In a statement on Monday, The Atlantic described Patel’s lawsuit as “meritless.”

“We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit,” the statement read.
