CBS’s Stephen Colbert twisted himself into a logical pretzel on Monday’s installment of The Late Show. First, Colbert suggested that President Trump’s immigration enforcement was the stuff of Nazis, but immediately afterwards, he conceded that former President Biden did pretty much the same thing.
Taking his cues from a CNN headline, Colbert lamented, “Daddy Donny is keeping his promise to round up immigrants in order to save the dogs that weren't being eaten from imaginary Mexican Hannibal Lecter. Over the weekend, his administration launched a nationwide immigration enforcement blitz. Really? Blitz, short for blitzkrieg? Just once, can we do fun German stuff? I'd love to see a headline that says, ‘Trump administration launches nationwide strudel.’”
However, Colbert conceded, “so far, ICE says these roundups are going after criminals, something like Biden tried to do.”
