Stephen Colbert predicted new levels of pettiness from Donald Trump to distract from President Joe Biden’s record-breaking act of clemency.
It was announced Thursday that Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people and pardoning 39 people convicted of nonviolent crimes such as drug offenses. Earlier this month, he pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, stirring much controversy.
Reacting to Thursday’s news, Colbert quipped, “Wow. I did not know he had 39 sons. That’s impressive.”
“What Biden did today is the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history,” he added.
“I believe that is an empathetic and generous act of forgiveness and hope,” he continued. “That will be knocked out of the headlines as soon as Trump threatens to bomb Manila because he cut himself on one of their envelopes.”
“You know that’s coming,” he cracked.
