Stephen Colbert Dumps On Trump's Weird New Election Claim
HuffPost
"The Late Show" host mocked the ex-president for a strange turn of phrase about the 2020 vote.
Stephen Colbert on Wednesday mocked Donald Trump for placing a strange new twist on his false claims about the 2020 election.
“We won this state, we won this state by a lot,” Trump said this week in Wisconsin, which he lost to Joe Biden by about 20,000 votes.
“Pretty bold to go to a state you lost and tell the crowd you actually won,” Colbert said. “That’s like bumping into your ex and saying, ‘Amanda, hi, you look well which of course I know because it came out that we’re still together. We’re still together by a lot.’”
Then, Trump’s claim got ever weirder as he insisted that “a lot of dumps happened” in the night as officials in Wisconsin counted votes.
“Yes, a lot of dumps” Colbert deadpanned as his audience laughed. “So just a regular night for Donald Trump.”
