Colbert: ‘The Founders Must Be Spinning in Their Graves with Joy’ Because ‘We, the People, Obey Rich Boy’

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “Here’s how we got here, okay? Speaker Mike Johnson had painstakingly negotiated a compromise with the Democrats to fund the government through March, but then that was all upended at the last minute by Elon Musk, who tweeted at 4:15 A.M. yesterday, 'This bill should not pass.' I mean, if you think about it, it makes sense that Musk would kill this at the last minute, ’cause he’s an expert at blowing things up on the launch pad. Plus, plus, and I’m sure the Founders are spinning in their graves with joy at the way this is all playing out — after all, the Constitution does start with: 'We the people do whatever rich boy tells us. Rich boy makes the big square truck car! Lol.'
(Cheering and Applause)
And we obey. We the people obey, rich boy.”
