Colbert Schools Trump On The Difference Between Dodging Bombs And Being Cold (VIDEO)

 

Stephen Colbert hilariously called out Donald Trump, 2016 GOP hopeful, for his ignorant statement that Syrian refugees fleeing from ISIS didn’t want to come here because “it’s cold” here.

Colbert is known for his amazing political satire show called The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. More often than not, we see Colbert calling out bigoted and ignorant statements made by conservatives. Donald Trump’s ignorant statements are no exception to this rule.

Donald Trump made the statement that Syrian refugees would be unhappy in America because the weather here is not hot like it is in Syria. Of course, to intelligent people the fact that Trump said something like this is no surprise, but his sponge audience sure soaked it up. Trump is currently polling the highest out of all the Republican contenders, which really shows how bigoted the Republican Party has become. Even though Trump’s followers let this bit of ignorance pass, Colbert was having none of it.

In an epic rant against the ignorant billionaire, Colbert decided to use the thing all Republicans hate: facts. The following was part of that epic rant:

“It’s a tough call for refugees. Do I want to stay in a war zone where my family faces almost certain death or do I want to go somewhere where I have to put on a jacket before I go to the mall? I mean you’re walkin’ around, you’re carrying your coat. You get all sweaty. You go outside and forget to put it on and then you get a cold. I’ll take my chances with ISIS.”

Colbert’s rant continues and eventually focuses on two other GOP presidential hopefuls, Former Gov. of Florida Jeb Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.


After showing a clip of President Obama asking if these people are afraid of 3 year-old Syrian refugees you begin to realize that after every one of Colbert’s rants you are inevitably going to have to scream “OHHH!!” at your computer screen. But to truly appreciate the hilariousness that is Stephen Colbert, you are probably going to want to check out the full video of his awesome rant below.
