"Comedian Stephen Colbert waded into President Donald Trump's latest viral confrontation, suggesting that the auto worker who heckled the president during a Ford plant visit on Tuesday kind of had a point and used the moment to revive an unresolved political liability: the Jeffrey Epstein files. During Wednesday night's monologue on The Late Show, Colbert dissected footage of Trump swearing and flipping the bird after being heckled by Ford employee TJ Sabula,"
"Apparently, Trump has designated a new national bird, Colbert joked, before adding: That's a new one. The President of the United States publicly F-bombs and then flips somebody off. That is the most crudely hostile response from the leader of our country since Herbert Hoover's campaign slogan, I'll poop in every pot.' You gotta hand it to that auto worker for getting under Trump's skin like compound butter on a Thanksgiving Turkey, he jibed."
Stephen Colbert examined footage of President Donald Trump at a Ford plant where an auto worker heckled him, calling him a 'pedophile protector.' The video shows Trump swearing and giving the middle finger as he passed the worker. Colbert joked about the crude response and compared it to historical political humor. He praised the worker for getting under Trump's skin and used the moment to demand disclosure of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Colbert noted a law required release of the Epstein files by mid-last month and pointed out that they remain unreleased, labeling the delay as making Trump appear to protect pedophiles.
