Rant of the Week: Stephen Colbert – Righteously Rips Jeff Sessions

This week it was reported that the trump administration has ripped 2000 children from their parents on the pretense that there is a law, written by Democrats, that “commands” them to do this inhumane act. There isn’t. This is a cruel Trump policy that Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III tried to justify with a biblical quote. “Late Night” host Stephen Colbert righteously to Jeff to the woodshed. “Hey, don’t bring God into this. First of all, I don’t think God picked you, because I don’t worship Vladimir Putin. And, the only thing in the Bible close to this is a king threatening to cut a baby in two, and he was joking.”

“It wouldn’t matter if you took these children to really nice hotels—or Trump hotels—we’d still be the only country in the whole damn world doing it, because it’s just plain wrong,” he said. “I sincerely believe that it doesn’t matter who you voted for. If we let this happen in our name, we are a feckless country,” he said.

 

Do it for the kids.
