That is the most beautiful sentence America has ever produced. It\u2019s right up there with \u2018We put cheese inside the crust.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he resorted to a vulgar attack on Trump, \u201cEarly Monday morning the FBI executed a search warrant on the former president\u2019s offices and personal quarters. I feel bad for those agents. \u2018Sir, I finished searching the cabinet full of empty chicken buckets. Where should I go next? Please don\u2019t say the bathroom. Please don\u2019t say the bathroom. Please don\u2019t say the bathroom.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we know the raid happened,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe still don\u2019t know why the raid happened because we don\u2019t yet know what was in the warrant. Think about that: We\u2019re talking about the former President of the United States of America. The FBI raids his home and all I can think is, which of his crimes they\u2019re investigating, cause he\u2019s done so many. It\u2019s hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colbert then indulged himself in an attempt at comedy: \u201cAt this point he can\u2019t keep track. \u2018Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?\u2019 \u2018Let\u2019s see, the body\u2019s in my trunk? The meth in the glove compartment? The back seat full of illegal spider monkeys who definitely got into the meth? Oh, it\u2019s the busted tail light? I was kidding about the other stuff.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>For Colbert to be lewd, crude and unfunny is nothing new: in 2017, he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/blogs\/on-media\/2017\/05\/03\/colbert-walks-back-crude-trump-putin-joke-237961\">infamously<\/a>\u00a0said of President Trump, \u201cSir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine. You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin\u2019s c*** holster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colbert doesn\u2019t like Republican presidents, period. At the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner, at which Colbert delivered an attack so searing on President George W. Bush that even the normal cadre of left-wing institutions like\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0and\u00a0The Washington Post\u00a0wouldn\u2019t report it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2006\/4\/30\/206303\/-\">Excerpts<\/a> included:<\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019re not so different, he and I. We get it. We\u2019re not brainiacs on the nerd patrol.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands\u00a0<strong>on<\/strong>\u00a0things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message: that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound \u2014 with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late-night host Stephen Colbert, who has spent the latter days of his career mocking former President Trump, celebrated the FBI raid on Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago home, saying, \u201cWe all got the present we wanted.\u201d Colbert started by noting the weather in Los Angeles, saying, \u201cIt may be hot outside, but in here it\u2019s Christmas.\u201d \u201cBecause yesterday, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1599112,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1598948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1598948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1598948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1598948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1599112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1598948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1598948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1598948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
