RUSH EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “As you recall, this emergency started right after trump didn’t get funding for his border wall from Mexico, then we had a midterm election where people didn’t want the border wall, then the new Congress wouldn’t give him money for the thing the voters didn’t want, so he shut down the government to get the money for the thing no one was asking for, and everyone was mad at him, so he declared victory and an emergency. At the same time. And told us all about it on Friday, in the Rose Garden, during a strange and incoherent appearance. It was clear from the beginning that the true emergency was taking place in his skull.”
