Colbert: Fox News Is Taking Impending Recession Seriously Because They’re Already ‘Lying’ About It

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “Yesterday, the Dow slipped on Trump’s tariffs and fell down an elevator shaft, and today, it kept bonking its head on the way down, plunging more than 450 points. In the last three weeks, in total, the stock market has lost $4 trillion in value, and experts now say the risk of a recession is 40%. And you can tell that even Fox News is taking that seriously, because they’re already lying about it."

COLBERT: "Oh, Maria. Maria, Maria. That excuse is getting harder and harder to make. 'You goin’ in the bathroom? You might want to give it a minute. Joe Biden was in there about 8 weeks ago. Whoo!'"
