Stephen Colbert made it clear on Thursday night that he does not really want to spend most of it Late show monologue talks about QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. But he does not really feel that he has a choice.
After touching on the absurd little letter Donald Trump sent to the Screen Actors Guild earlier in the day, the host said, “Speaking of acting, I can not wait to talk about Georgia representative and woman who ‘Hello, neighbor ‘, Marjorie does not wave. Taylor Greene. ”
Colbert tore apart the speech Greene delivered to her colleagues over the next few minutes before the House voted to deprive her of her committee assignments. In response to her sudden denial of ‘dangerous’ misinformation, he said: ‘You were right, it’s dangerous to mix up a truth, like you say,’ I used to believe in QAnon ‘and you’re lying, like’ Now I do more. ‘”
The host was also not impressed with Greene’s claim that ‘9/11 happened’, adding: ‘I believe we as a nation have promised to always remember that it happened. What does your buffer sticker say, ‘9/11. Oops, did I forget? ”
“This is the modern GOP. They want credit for acknowledging reality, ‘Colbert said, joking that President Ronald Reagan would be praised for the standards because he declared: “Mr. Gorbachev, it’s a wall! ‘
But more than anything, the host was disgusted by Greene’s apology that her racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic conspiracy nonsense, of which she had posted online for the past two years, were merely ‘words of the past’.
“All words are words of the past!” Exclaims Colbert. ‘These words I’m saying now? They were in the past, he said, seconds ago! And what do you mean, since you were elected to Congress? It’s less than three months ago! ”
