Colbert: The Alt-Right Is So Embarrassed with Bannon, They Covered Their Faces with Hoods
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "Yesterday, we got primo poop from former White House chief strategist and expired hamburger meat that wished to be a real boy, Steve Bannon. Remember that meeting at Trump Tower between Jared, Manafort, Don Jr. and that Russian lawyer? They don’t. But Bannon does. And he says, it was treasonous. Oh, no, I agree with Steve Bannon! That old gypsy was right. And remember, Trump denied any knowledge of this Russia meeting but Bannon said, “The chance that Don Jr. did not walk these jumos up to his father’s office of the 26 floor is zero.” Which is same chance that there’s a word “Jumo.” I don’t know what it means. You guys ever heard of jumo?.. I think it might be Spanish for “Maga!” This made Trump lose his... Let’s say, mind. He fired a vicious statement claiming Bannon had “Nothing to do with me or my presidency.” Again, that’s Bannon, seen here with trump in the oval office, having nothing to do with them. “That doesn’t prove anything. I was just renting him space in the White House for his pop-up Halloween store. He doesn’t have any influence over me. Other than being my chief political strategist and convincing me to support an accused child molester.” For Senate. Of course, the White House has called everything in the book a lie, but yesterday Trump’s lawyer sent Bannon a cease and desist letter, and accused him of “Violating an agreement that prevented him from disclosing confidential information.” Which is it? Is he lying, or disclosing confidential information? “Steve, you promised you’d never tell anyone about those terrible things you saw me not do.” Remember? And Bannon caught holy hell from his own supporters. In the last 24 hours, candidates he endorsed abandoned him, he lost his biggest billionaire donor, even the alt-right is turning its back on Steve Bannon. It’s true. They’re so embarrassed of him that a lot of the alt-right has started covering their faces with hoods. Yeah, they don’t want to be seen. Turn out the lights, walking around with torches. They’re just so embarrassed. Now, remember, Mitch McConnell and Bannon have been butting heads, with Bannon claiming he was going to take McConnell down. This year. Well, yesterday, on his Twitter feed, McConnell proved he was having the last laugh, or at least the last creepy smile. That’s either pure schadenfreud, or someone’s feeding a turtle. Here comes the lettuce."
