Stephen Colbert Wrecks Donald Trump’s ‘Common Sense' Plane Crash Spin With 1 Brutal Line
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host tore into the president's blame game following the deadly airplane crash in Washington, D.C.
Stephen Colbert on Thursday ripped Donald Trump’s attempts to blame the deadly airplane crash in Washington, D.C. on diversity hiring at the Federal Aviation Administration.
“This morning, as 67 families were waiting in unapproachable grief desperate to find out what happened to their loved ones, the president of the United States took that moment of their tragedy, the tragedy for these people who I’m confident are not concerned with politics right now, to, without any evidence whatsoever, blame DEI and Democrats for the deadly plane crash,” said Colbert.
The “Late Show” host aired a clip of Trump being asked at the press briefing, “I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash?”
Trump replied, “Because I have common sense, OK.”
Colbert commented: “No, not OK.”
