Stephen Colbert Spots How Trump Cranked 'Up The Crazy' With An 'Unexpected New Theory'
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host joked that the president-elect's remarks explained the "J6 Choir's new anthem."
Stephen Colbert on Wednesday mocked Donald Trump for cranking “up the crazy” and ripping “off the knob” after the president-elect’s wild presser where he appeared to blame Hezbollah for the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The “Late Show” host referred to Trump’s “unexpected new theory” before playing a clip of the president-elect who, when asked about pardoning those convicted for their roles in the attack, seemingly blamed the FBI and the Iran-backed militant group in Lebanon for the riot.
“Hezbo-wha?” said Colbert before breaking out his impression the president-elect.
Colbert then played the rest of the comments from Trump, who said “we have to find out about who, exactly,” was involved in the attack as “people that did some bad things were not prosecuted.”
“Yeah, I’m looking at one right now,” he said of Trump as “The Late Show” crowd cheered.
