There is perhaps no better person to perfectly skewer political figures than Stephen Colbert, and he proved that again last night on his show as he discussed Donald Trump’s recent comments on the judge in the Trump University lawsuit being biased because he happens to be of Hispanic heritage. Colbert began by saying of Trump U:
“The mascot is so offensive, we can’t even show it. It’s just two orange balls. Because, folks, he’s got a swingin’ pair of ’em.”
And then Colbert directly addressed Trump’s contention that Judge Gonzalo Curiel cannot possibly render a fair ruling in the Trump University case:
“Trump’s point is he cannot be judged by a member of any group that he has offended. So, that means no Mexican judges, no Muslim judges, no Asian judges, no women judges unless she’s a 10. Trump has insulted the Pope, so no Catholic judges. He called everyone in Iowa stupid, so no judges that eat corn. You know what? Maybe Trump might be more comfortable if he couldn’t tell the judge’s race or gender. Maybe cover the judge up in an unbiased robe. Maybe make it a white robe with a matching hood, that seems about right.”
Colbert also said he was having trouble deciding whether or not Trump is a racist due to his Irish heritage and that “makes me want to fight anyone who looks that much like a potato.”
As the capper for his complete takedown of Trump, Colbert referenced the Donald’s calling out a black man in the crowd and calling him “my African-America.” That proves Trump is indeed becoming more Presidential, Colbert remarked, adding:
“‘Look at my African-American’ does sound like something Thomas Jefferson might have said.”
No one can make us laugh about the jerkish behavior of our political figures quite the way Stephen Colbert does. The guy is an American treasure.
