Stephen Colbert Rips ‘Dumbass’ Karoline Leavitt For Trump Claim

During his Wednesday night monologue, Stephen Colbert mocked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s defense of President Trump’s comments about Greenland. Colbert’s audience jeered as Leavitt insisted that Trump was just referring to Greenland as “a piece of ice.” Colbert sarcastically pulled out a mock quote comparing Leavitt to a character from George Orwell’s ‘1984,’ which prompted cheers from the audience.

Colbert’s humor and sharp criticism of the Trump administration were on full display as he called out what he saw as propaganda from the White House. The late-night host’s audience clearly agreed with his assessment, showing their support with cheers and applause.
