Colbert: 'Lock Her Up' Applies To Trump Officials

There's a double standard when it comes to emails.

Before his monologue Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert played a clip of news coverage of Hillary Clinton's use of private email while on the job as secretary of State. He cut to footage of "Trump supporters" chanting "Lock her up!"

He then played coverage of revelations that at least five current and former White House officials have used private email for government business. The Trump supporters had a decidedly different reaction to this story. (For more national political news, sign up for the free White House Patch email newsletter.)
