Stephen Colbert Hammers Donald Trump for Birther Lies: ‘We’re Not Crazy!’
The ‘Late Show’ host dismantles Donald Trump’s pathetic attempt to close the book on birtherism


Finally, replaying Trump’s comments that Obama was “born in the United States, period,” Colbert shot back, “No! Not period. Question mark. Fuck you, exclamation point!” (Notably, Seth Meyers made the exact same joke in a clip from tonight’s show.)

“You don’t get to flog this issue for five years and then act like you’re correcting everybody else!” Colbert exclaimed, getting more heated than usual. “We’re not crazy, we were there. We all saw you do it. Even the people who support you saw you do it, it’s why they support you!”

As for the $5 million dollar donation Trump once promised Obama if he could definitively prove his citizenship, the host added, “He’s probably waiting on that check right now, you know, like most of your contractors.”
“So, Mr. Trump, now's your chance to put your money where your mouth is,” Colbert said, “or, barring that, there's always my balls.”

This was the toughest Colbert has been on Trump in months. It’s almost as if he watched Jimmy Fallon fawn all over the candidate last week and felt the need to correct the record.
