Colbert: ‘Is It All Lies that Americans Want to Afford Groceries?’

[Maddow] ‘Donald Trump says I can afford this’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "Now, let me ask you, while the president is talking today, he said that affordability is a fraud, the word 'affordability.'"
MADDOW: "A Democratic con job."
COLBERT: "It's a Democratic con job. Is it all lies that Americans want to afford groceries? Because I want to give the man his due."
MADDOW: "My favorite thing about this is that this is when you can fact-check at home. Like, you don’t need to count on the professionals to do this. When you go to the grocery store and you get your bill and they tell you how much it will be, you can just say, 'Donald Trump says I can afford this.' And just see if it works. I mean, you may not have the money, but if Trump says it's a hoax, then check it yourself at home. I feel like this will be the vindication of all fact-checkers, because now everybody can do it themselves. Also, if it is a hoax, shouldn’t he be able to fix it?"
COLBERT: "He doesn’t have to fix it because it doesn’t exist."
