Colbert Mocks Voters for Sticking With Trump: ‘He Stole My Wallet…I Want to Vote for Him!’

On Wednesday,  Stephen Colbert mocked Republicans for still –overwhelmingly — approving of President Donald Trump despite the fact the majority of Americans think that he committed crimes prior to being president.

Colbert started by quipping, “There are so many investigations swirling around Donald Trump right now that R. Kelly is like, ‘I’m glad I’m not that guy.'”

The audience laughed.

The Late Show host then turned to recent polls.

“And the majority of Americans think he is guilty of something,” he continued on. “According to a poll that came out yesterday, 64% of Americans thought Trump had committed crimes before he became president, including 33% of Republicans. And, yet, his approval rating with Republicans is 82%.”

Then mocking Trump loyalists, Colbert snarked: “Police! Police! He just stole my wallet! Stop that man! I want to vote for him!”
