Stephen Colbert Calls BS On Mike Johnson Over Trump Inauguration Move
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host didn't buy the House speaker's logic on this one.
“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said Donald Trump is already ticked off about one factor threatening to cast a shadow on his Inauguration Day celebration ― so GOP lawmakers rushed to fix it for him.
“You know all the flags at federal facilities are at half-staff out of respect for the passing of President Jimmy Carter?” Colbert said on Wednesday night. “Well, Trump didn’t like that on his big day.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) ordered the flags to return to full height for to “celebrate” Trump’s inauguration, but then back to half-staff the following day as the 30-day mourning period for Carter resumes.
Colbert didn’t buy that logic.
“Yes, it is traditional to interrupt people’s mourning with a little celebration,” he said, and compared it to karaoke at a funeral ― complete with a brief rendition of “Love Shack.”
