Stephen Colbert opened his last monologue before The Late Show goes on hiatus for the rest of the summer by taking one more victory lap over the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago.
Specifically, the host noticed a new pattern emerging in the way the former president’s biggest defenders have changed their tune over the past couple of days. “It started as ‘nothing to see here’ and quickly became ‘anything you see was put here by the FBI,’” he said. “And all the former president’s hench-folk have gobbled up the bait.”
After playing a montage of Trump allies spreading that conspiracy on conservative media, Colbert said, “You know that when you accuse someone of planting evidence before they say that they’ve even found anything? It’s when you know they’re going to find something.”
