Colbert Asks Jake Tapper Why CNN Can’t Just Say ‘Job Well Done’ on Trump’s Handling of the Iran War

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “On Friday, your network, and congrats on this one, got a shout-out from Trump. He posted that CNN and The New York Times are 'desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, 'Job well done, Mr. President?'' Jake, that’s a simple question. Why don't you just say, 'Job well done?' How hard is that? What would that hurt, if you just say, 'Job well done,' and then later ask what the job was?”
TAPPER:" First of all, let me say, I say it to you, 'Job well done.'"
(Cheering and Applause)
COLBERT: "Thank you very much. I’m supposed to tell him?"
TAPPER: "No, no. It stops at you."
