Stephen Colbert doled out a uncommon honor on Monday night time, giving one Republican lawmaker a brand new title, but it surely’s one he in all probability received’t be placing on a resume anytime quickly.
The “Late Present” host tore into Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), who final week complained that Republicans get handled unfairly after they lie and pointing particularly to the arrest of former Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro. Navarro was indicted on contempt fees after refusing to adjust to a subpoena from the Home committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
However Gohmert noticed it from one other perspective.
“It truly places an exclamation level on the truth that we’ve got a two-tired justice system. Should you’re a Republican, you may’t even deceive Congress or deceive an FBI agent or they’re coming after you,” he griped.
“Wait! Maintain on a second, we’re getting extra breaking information!” Colbert interjected. “That is simply in. Is that this confirmed? He’s simply confirmed it: Louie Gohmert stays the dumbest man alive.”
Colbert’s monologue additionally featured an “EW!” second about Gohmert:
