Colbert on Biden’s Financial Sanctions on Russia: ‘There Goes Tucker Carlson’s Sponsors’

‘But today, that all changed’

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “But today, that all changed, because Joe Biden spoke to the American people and laid out some tough penalties:”
BIDEN [clip]: “We’re implementing full blocking sanctions on two large Russian financial institutions, VEB and their military bank. We’re implementing comprehensive sanctions on Russian’s sovereign debt. That means we’ve cut off Russia’s government from western financing. It can no longer raise money from the west and cannot trade in its new debt on our markets or European markets, either.
COLBERT: “So that means, no Russian money in the U.S. –-- there goes Tucker Carlson’s sponsors.”
