Stephen Colbert happily bit his hand, paying off on “Late Show” on Thursday.
The presenter criticized his network, CBS, for hiring former Donald Trump official Mick Mulven as a contributor to its editorial team.
“What the hell?” He exclaimed, though the last word was heard.
Colbert described Mulven’s unfortunate story as Trump’s “thirsty frog” as head of the interim president’s staff. Mulven acknowledged that Trump suspended military aid to Ukraine in exchange for political corruption (then tried to withdraw), dismissed the new COVID-19 crisis as a media conspiracy to overthrow Trump, and vowed that if Trump lost the election in 2020, He will graciously surrender. “He ostra is a fool!” Colbert broke the far right of Mulven.
“Why does the respected Tiffany Network news section put this weird brute on the payroll?” Colbert asked.
Colbert said he was joking. But that’s what comedians do: they use humor to comment on serious things.
Apparently, Mulven’s new concert was pre -arranged in a previous staff speech by CBS News President Neraj Khemlan. In the record taken by the Washington Post, he said Republicans are likely to “stay” in the by-election and the network needs more insight on their part.
“They’re not just spreading the word, they’re hoping now,” Colbert said on his website.
