Stephen Colbert On Trump, 'America's Racist Grandpa'

Stephen Colbert continued his verbal assault on President Trump Wednesday night, this time taking shots at Trump for his much-maligned impromptu "kamikaze press conference" on Tuesday, in which the president drew a moral equivalency between white supremacists and counter-protesters.

The press conference was "one for the ages, especially 1931 to 1935," quipped the "Late Show" host. Spending his entire monologue on Trump, he noted a New York Times report that said Trump's aides tried to convince him not to publicly share sympathetic views about the alt-right and white supremacists he had expressed in private.

"Please, Grandpa, you can't say this stuff out loud in the restaurant," said Colbert. (For more national political news, sign up for the free White House Patch email newsletter.)
