Stephen Colbert called out Donald Trump’s “farm-team of far-right weirdos” hoping for a spot in the president-elect’s incoming administration.
One wannabe, Oklahoma education superintendent Ryan Walters, has been making headlines for trying to push Christianity on kids in school with mandates to force the Bible into classroom lessons.
“Yes, because Bibles always make places more holy,” Colbert said. “That’s why only wholesome stuff happens in motels. Those stains are from praying. Get out a blacklight, and you can see the Holy Ghost.”
Walters also demanded that schools show students a video of himself praying for Trump.
“OK, that’s a weird thing to force public school kids to watch,” said Colbert. “But you know what? I pray. I’ll even pray for Donald Trump right now.”
Colbert clasped his hands together and bowed his head.
“Dear Lord. Do you know Donald Trump?” he asked.
Then, the “Late Show” host offered up just three words regarding the president-elect: “God help us.”
