Colbert: It’s as Trump as It Gets to Make a March Against Him as a March for Him

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "There was another party trump didn’t make it to this weekend: The women’s March. I agree. On Saturday, people all across the country took to the streets to rally for women’s rights and protest trump’s policies. It was a huge turn-out, with an estimated 600,000 people gathering in Los Angeles, 300,000 in Chicago, and 200,000 here in New York. Yep. I’m all in. In some places, it was even bigger this year. Like in the tiny town of Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia which “Doubled their numbers from last year, with a total of 31 people... Plus one baby!” A baby. A baby. I think I know how someone kept warm last time. And just like last year, there were some fantastic signs. “Super callous facist racist Nazi braggadocious,” “Norway, please help us!,” “We shall overcomb,” “I’m also 6’3” & 239 lbs,” “Please note the lack of Nazis at our marches,” and “How did I survive the past year? I watched Stephen Colbert - lateshow.”  Thank you. We are honored. We are honored to have help. That’s how I got through the year, too. But trump being trump, he had to put a positive spin on the protest tweeting “Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!” “I’ve created so many jobs in the field of ‘paying pornstars to keep quiet.’ you’re welcome, ladies!” This and — allegedly. This is, allegedly — I should say that so often in every show we do — this is as trump as it gets. You can’t just take a March that’s against you as a March that’s for you. After Dr. King marched on Washington, the K.K.K. Didn’t thank him for raising hood awareness."
