Stephen Colbert continued amusing himself this week by discussing the continuing information drops about Donald Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein throughout his monologue. And at one level, he was pressured to offer props to an unlikely recipient: The so-called “QAnon shaman,” whose actual title is Jake Chansley.
However instantly after, Colbert needed to stroll that again due to an especially bizarre conspiracy idea unfold by Chansley.
Colbert acquired to the joke by noting that the Epstein scandal “is costing Trump a whole lot of allies. The most recent to leap ship is the QAnon Shaman. This has deep repercussions, as a result of while you lose the Q shaman, you inevitably lose Fred Barney and the complete loyal order of the water buffalo,” Colbert joked, evaluating the well-known headdress worn by Chansley to characters from the traditional cartoon sequence “Flintstones.”
“In response to a photograph of Trump on social media,” Colbert continued, “the shaman wrote ‘this silly piece of s—, what a fraud.’ Now hear, I don’t I don’t agree what this man has mentioned and executed up to now, however now that he has posted this, I simply need to say, Mr. Shaman. Mr. Shaman. A toast to you. A toast to you.”
As he mentioned this, Colbert poured champagne right into a glass, then continued, “let’s see what else he wrote about this administration. ‘Particular Presidential Envoy Richard Grinnell possesses the flexibility to chew individuals and inject them with venom that enables these subjected to the venom to turn into beneath a hypnotic spell.’”
At this , Colbert began pouring the champagne again into the bottle, joking, “Simply get that again in there… reserve it for later.”
