“This is shocking and vicious, so, on brand, ” Colbert said. VIDEO
During his opening monologue Thursday, host Stephen Colbert was red in the face after he brought up President Trump’s that targeted “Morning Joe” pundit Mika Brzezinski. “I’ m going to say something right now that I did not think was possible anymore: I am shocked by something Donald Trump said, ” Colbert said to start his show. “I thought by now, after five months of this, that my soul had calcified into a crouton. Not true.” “First of all, someone bleeding badly at your door and you say, ‘No?’ ” he continued. “It sounds like your health-care plan. I mean, turning them away from your hotel during the middle of winter is literally the story of Christmas, only there wasn’ t a wise man in sight.” Trump’s tweets ignited universal outrage Thursday, as even Republican congressmen were forced to denounce the needless bullying. Colbert noted that some people were calling this a “new low” for Trump. But the late-night host didn’ t see it that way.
