Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel joke about Trump 'essentially' not obstructing, hosting Boston 'Red Socks'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Trump is making his own case for impeachment, and Stephen Colbert was confused. "I don't know about 'self-impeachable,' but he is you-impeachable," he said on Thursday's Late Show. Trump argued Thursday he cooperated with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Mueller found "no collusion and, essentially, no obstruction." Colbert blinked. "'Essentially'? — that's a new one," he said. "There are 10 counts of obstruction outlined in the Mueller report. That's like Moses coming down from the mountain and saying, 'I just talked to God — essentially, no commandments.'"
Colbert chuckled over the White House welcoming the Boston "Red Socks" on Thursday, though "Trump hosted only some of the Red Sox, because at least 10 players, all Latino or African-American, elected not to attend," he said. "Apparently, they didn't want to be in a place associated with racism — other than Fenway Park."
