Just days after US congressman Steve King was shown the door over racist remarks, 'detective' Trevor Noah has stepped in to investigate. 

Trevor got into detective mode to unpack the debacle and Steve's response to the debacle. 

Equipped with a magnifying glass and old footage of previous racist remarks that Steve made, Trevor set out to investigate if the politician is racist.

In the end Trevor could not solve the mystery. 

"On the one hand, we have Steve King being racist towards Mexicans, Muslims and the entire non-white world. But on the other hand, he says he’s not racist. Even I'm not good enough to solve this so it will remain a mystery," said Trevor.
