Stephen Colbert Jokes Ex-Prince Andrew Charges Look Familiar
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host applauded U.K. authorities for arresting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor before laying into President Donald Trump.
Stephen Colbert on Thursday cheerfully announced on “The Late Show” that there’s a new spring in his step, and not just because the snow melting on New York sidewalks makes him “want to hop over all that poop” being unthawed after weeks of frigid weather.
“Also because this morning the former Prince Andrew was arrested following revelations in the Epstein files,” he explained. “Yes, finally, someone, anyone! Let’s hear it! Let’s hear it for British justice, which is better ... than American justice because it comes with frilly wigs.”
While the punch line prompted laughter from his audience, the actual news drew applause.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was infamously stripped of his formal title in the British royal family last year amid mounting questions about his past connection to late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — and was arrested Thursday by U.K. authorities.
President Donald Trump has since described the matter as “a shame” and “very sad thing,” telling reporters that he himself has been “totally exonerated” of any potential crimes related to Epstein, pointing to files released by his Justice Department as supposed proof.
