Stephen Colbert Tears Into Trump in Blistering Monologue: ‘On the Ship With Ol’ Tator D*ck’

Stephen Colbert told his audience they all may already be living in a dictatorship based on President Donald Trump’s administration’s handling of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to an El Salvador megaprison.

On Tuesday’s The Late Show, Colbert touched on the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador in what the administration has since called an administrative “error.” The Supreme Court has since ordered the administration to “facilitate” the man’s return, but there has been no movement to make that happen. The administration continues to insist that Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang despite him having no prior such convictions.

Colbert called the situation a “failure of checks and balances” and said the Supreme Court has the authority of a bathroom sign telling employees to wash their hands.

“Keep in mind: these are court orders, not court suggestions. The Supreme Court has to have more power than the bathroom sign that says ’employees must wash hands,” the late night host said. “Because you know Trump ignores that sign. He’s heading back to the table and dippin’ his pee-pee fingers right in the chicken bucket.”

Colbert suggested American citizens could fall victim to the same fate as Garcia. Trump sparked concerns after he told El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele in the White House that “home-growns” are next to be deported.

“If you’re telling yourself, ‘Well, what happened to this guy doesn’t apply to me,’ try adding the word ‘yet,'” he said. “Because for the last week, Trump has been publicly mulling the idea of sending American citizens to rot in the El Salvador hellpit. So, the point is, Trump wants to arrest people without due process, in defiance of the Supreme Court, and also wants to include American citizens. We’re not on our way to a dictatorship. We’re on the ship with ol’ tater-dick.”
