"In his latest salvo, he hit back at Trump's incessant posting of AI-generated racist videos by creating one of his own, targeting Vice President JD Vance. To set up the bit, Colbert played a clip of Vance insisting Trump was merely "joking" and "having a good time" by posting meme videos of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and a mustache. "I make this solemn promise to you that if you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop," Vance added."
"'Come on, it's a joke. You're having a good time,' Colbert deadpanned. 'And I'll tell you what, here's the deal. If you resign as VP, I won't keep showing that every chance I get. And I definitely won't put it on all of our socials so people can share it and maybe roll on a loop during their holiday parties this year.'"
Stephen Colbert responded to the Trump administration's use of AI-generated racist memes by producing an AI parody aimed at Vice President JD Vance. Colbert framed the bit by showing Vance defending Trump’s sombrero memes as joking and promising they would stop if the government reopened. Colbert then aired his own AI clip depicting a sombrero-wearing Vance having sex with a couch and joked that he would keep sharing it unless Vance resigned. The sketch referenced a viral false claim about Vance and a latex glove. Vance had not publicly responded at the time of reporting.
