Stephen Colbert defended the US against claims it’s slipping into a dictatorship, saying “we’re already there.” In his latest monologue, Colbert ridiculed the Trump administration’s actions, including its attempts to deport American citizens. Despite being ordered by the Supreme Court to reverse the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Trump’s team ignored the order and admitted it was never a mistake.
Colbert mocked the administration’s initial claim that Garcia was deported due to an “administrative error,” saying we’ve all made similar mistakes. However, he pointed out that the Supreme Court saw through this excuse and ordered Trump’s team to reverse the deportation.
In his blunt assessment, Colbert stated that Trump wants to arrest people without due process, defying the Supreme Court’s orders. He also expressed concern over the administration’s plans to deport American citizens. Colbert emphasized that standing up against Trump on these issues shouldn’t be partisan, as a dictatorship is not welcome in America.
