“The Daily Show” correspondent Josh Johnson is still stumped by Donald Trump’s recent reference to his Democratic rival Kamala Harris as “Kamabla.”

Johnson on Wednesday fell down a rabbit hole while trying to figure out the meaning behind the former president’s new moniker.

“What does that mean? It feels racist, but why?” the comedian asked at one point. “It just feels like an old-timey slur,” he said elsewhere in the clip.

Ultimately, though, Johnson appeared no closer to the truth.
