Stephen Colbert Gives Trump's FBI Pick A Pointed Reminder After Media Threat
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host had a direct message for Kash Patel.
Stephen Colbert said Donald Trump’s selection of MAGA loyalist Kash Patel to run the FBI is more proof that the president-elect is “purposely appointing people who promise to destroy the thing they’ve been appointed to run.”
“Next he’s gonna replace Smokey the Bear with Flame-o the Arsonist,” Colbert cracked.
Patel has promised to attack the “deep state” within the FBI and vowed to crack down on Trump’s perceived enemies ― including those in the media.
“We’re gonna come after the people in the media,” Patel promised in a clip Colbert played. “Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.”
Colbert responded with mock defiance.
