Every year, CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s final The Late Show episode before Christmas features a politically-inspired cartoon meant to make his liberal audience feel all warm and fuzzy inside. With liberals feeling extra sad this year, Thursday’s cartoon featured President Trump and various administration officials arresting Santa Claus and his elves only for them to turn the tables at the end.
Narrator Nick Offerman began, “Twas the last Christmas special and all through D.C., folks were drinking their feelings especially me…. While Christmas had once been a season of giving, this year, in the White House, King Jagbag was living. No inch of that fellow was nice, kind, or thankful from his weird rotting hand to his large swollen cankles. He hated Kris Kringle, giving gifts out for free.”
Cartoon Trump was then showing cancelling Christmas because he did not want to be upstaged by Santa while denying he had anything to do with it, “Wasn’t me, but I absolutely love that Santa got fired. The North Pole’s a war zone.” Offerman followed, “That gassy Grinch foamed.”
