Donald Trump said in a New Hampshire speech over the weekend that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” a phrase that harkened back to Germany before World War II, which prompted Stephen Colbert to take the former president to task.
“That’s absolutely disgusting,” the CBS host said during his “Late Show” monologue Monday night. “Also not true. The blood of our country is not being poisoned by immigrants. It’s being poisoned by dipping pizza in ranch dressing.”
Colbert was particularly concerned about the history of the phrase.
“The statement is horrifying in and of itself,” the host said during his monologue Monday night.
