What started out as a rather diplomatic assessment of Hillary Clinton's controversial email case quickly turned into a "gloves off" bashing of the former secretary of state's decisions on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night. Following a brief and toothless introduction into the controversy over Clinton sending classified information via a private email server, Stephen Colbert launched into a two-minute tirade about just how untrustworthy Clinton is.
Colbert suggested that Clinton is so "untrustworthy that Beyonce is working on a concept album about her," and that her email setup has made her look "so shady right now that FIFA wants to hire" her. "Secretary Clinton," Colbert says, "you lied so much that kids are now chanting 'liar, liar, pantsuit on fire.'"
