Stephen Colbert has been on a two week vacation from The Late Show, and he decided to come back in the most obnoxious way possible…
By giving Trump a Nazi salute. Yes, really.
According to the Daily Beast:
Stephen Colbert returned to The Late Show this week after a two-week vacation, and, given the constant chaos of the Trump administration, there was quite a bit he missed.
….Well, on Thursday, Colbert got around to covering Steve Bannon’s “conscious uncoupling” with the Trump administration.
“As so many things happened, I really missed the chance to talk about some big stuff—especially the exit of White House strategist (and Proactiv ‘before’ model) Steve Bannon,” cracked Colbert.
“Technically, I guess, Bannon wasn’t fired because on the day he left the administration issued a statement that said, ‘White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day,’” said Colbert. “Yes, it was a ‘mutual agreement.’ The same way my college girlfriend and I ‘mutually agreed’ that she’d be happier having sex with Gary.”
The reason for Colbert’s Bannon focus is that the former chief White House strategist (and current Breitbart czar) will be sitting down for his first post-breakup interview with Charlie Rose on Sunday’s 60 Minutes—a show on the same network as The Late Show.
Bannon also defended President Trump’s heavily criticized reaction to the neo-Nazi march on Charlottesville, with the president stating there was violence “on many sides” and “good people” on both sides.
“By the way, after the Charlottesville situation—that’s what I told John Kelly—I was the only guy that came out and tried to defend him. I was the only guy that said, ‘He’s talking about something that’s… taking it up to a higher level,’” muttered Bannon.
“Yeah, he’s definitely taking it to a higher level. I’d say his support is about up there. Right around here,” said Colbert, delivering the Nazi salute. “Or over here,” he added, delivering another Nazi salute. “Somewhere up there.”
What in the actual hell? Is this “funny”? We get it… you think Trump’s a Nazi. Do you not understand how incredibly stupid this makes you look?
Unfortunately, the left has their heads shoved too far up their own a$$es to realize how embarrassing this is.
