Colbert: ‘Hannibal Lecter’ Is Also a Guy Who Say Troubling Things in a Calm Voice

‘Just because you act presidential doesn’t mean you are’

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "Trump may have changed his tone but that doesn't change the content of what he said. One senior White House official even told a reporter that the speech was just 'Nationalism with an indoor voice.' Yeah, indoor voice. It's the kind of voice you use in the library while checking out books to burn. You know who also said troubling things in a calm voice? Hannibal Lecter."

LECTER: "We're making a list of immigrants, we're rounding up the bad ones. Make America great again, Clarice!"

COLBERT: "Smart. The guy's smart. The guy's smart. Yeah. The point is, just because you act presidential doesn't mean you are. When I put my head through that cutout in Coney Island, it doesn't mean I'm actually riding a dolphin."
