Colbert Mocks Trump Naming Hezbollah as Participants in Jan. 6th: So, He’s ‘Pardoning’ Both Proud Boys and Hezbollah?

COLBERT: “Speaking of natural disasters, Donald Trump. Yesterday, the president-elect got behind the podium at Mar-a-Lago, cranked up the crazy and then ripped off the knob. For instance, he was asked about pardoning the January 6th rioters and he came up with an unexpected new theory about who was really responsible.”

Trump: “I guess 24 or 28 people came now from the FBI, that came out, very quietly, nobody reported it. But they had people in some form related to the FBI, they had four or five people that were strongly related to the FBI. We have to find out about that. We have to find out about Hezbollah.”

COLBERT: “Hezbo-wha? I’m sorry. I’m sorry, is he now saying that January 6th was done by Hezbollah? ‘January 6th was a day of love. It was a day of love, a day of peace that I have nothing to do with. It was Hezbollah, who is also the FBI. The ‘B’ in FBI, of course, stands for ’bollah.’
(Cheering and Applause)
It’s been a while. It’s been a while. I haven’t done the impression a couple months and I think I pulled my soul. Trump went on.”

Trump: “We have to find out about who exactly was in that whole thing because people that did some bad things were not prosecuted.”

COLBERT: “Yeah, I’m looking at one right now!
(Cheering and Applause)
So the people who did January 6th are both misunderstood Proud Boys that you’re pardoning and Hezbollah? That would explain the J6 choir’s new anthem: ‘God bless and/or death to America.’”
