Colbert: Trump Willing to Offend Every Group in America Except White People

‘Trump says something shocking, then all of us on TV spend days repeating it, giving him millions of dollars worth of free air time’

COLBERT: "But right now what everyone everywhere is talking about is Donald Trump and the press release that he put out in which he said, "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." He wants to ban Muslims, a fourth of the world's population. How is that going to work? I'm not sure how the T.S.A. would be able to test for your religion. Though I will say their pat downs are thorough enough to determine if you're Jewish. You just have to pay something a fair amount of money to do that to me. Or perhaps we can just casually ask people trying to enter the country, "Hey, I'm trying to calibrate my compass. Do you know which direction Mecca is?" But here's the thing, I don't know why everyone is so surprised. Trump has already proven he's willing to offend every group in America except white people, and frankly, as a white person, I feel left out. It's his entire electoral strategy. Trump says something shocking, then all of us on TV spend days repeating it, giving him millions of dollars worth of free air time."
