Colbert on E. Jean Carroll Allegation: This Is Trump Repeating His 2016 Campaign Strategy

‘The president of the United States was accused of sexual assault — again’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “Here’s something you do not see discussed on TV a lot this weekend, the president of the United States was accused of sexual assault — again. Trump really is repeating his 2016 strategy. In an article in “New York Magazine” on Friday, columnist E. Jean Carroll accuses Trump of sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room 23 years ago. These accusations are specific, credible, and terrible and make Carroll the 22nd woman to step forward. 22 women! That should raise alarms. Let me put it this way: If one person in your life accused you of pooping in their kitchen sink, I could be persuaded to believe it’s a lie. But if over the course of your 73 years of life, 22 separate people came forward with detailed accounts of times you had pooped in their kitchen sinks, I’m starting to think you’re a sink pooper.”
