Colbert: Gay Marriage Has ‘Definitely Imposed Serious Harm’ on Don Jr., Imagine Hearing About People Having Two Dads that Love You

COLBERT: “First up today was Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Florida A.G. and dance mom finding out Kinsleigh didn’t get a solo, Pam Bondi. Now, while the attorney general is in the executive Branch of any administration, it’s very important that is an independent role. It’s the people’s attorney, not the president’s personal attorney, which is why Trump nominated Bondi, who was his personal attorney. ‘And for secretary of transportation, I’d like to nominate my Uber driver, Mark, who — he’ll be here. Mark will be here in five minutes. Folks, I’m sorry, no, now it says 8 minutes! Mark, that’s a one way! No, sorry. Wait. It’s changed. Now it looks I’m nominating Maria, who will be here — Maria — why is — Maria’s car just spinning now. Why is that happening?’ Bondi spent her confirmation hearing refusing to say whether she’d do Trump’s bidding, but she’s certainly done it before. She defended Trump in the first impeachment trial, spread his 2020 election lies, all over the place, and is also against marriage equality, arguing in 2014 that affirming same-sex marriage rights would ‘impose serious public harm.’ And gay marriage has definitely imposed serious harm, at least on Don Jr. Imagine, imagine hearing that some people have two dads, and they both love you.”
