Stephen Colbert Pelts Trump For Confusing Hurricane Dorian Tweets

Stephen Colbert returned to The Late Show Tuesday evening after a break, and he was fired up about politics.

The CBS late-night host started by mocking Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for her fading presidential fortunes (the New York Democrat dropped out of the race on August 28).

“We just returned from a two-week break and I didnt watch any news. Hows Kirsten Gillibrand doing?” Colbert jokingly asked the studio audience.

“Really, shes out?” he responded to his own question. “Well, just more votes for Jay Inslee.” (The Washington governor also dropped out).

Colbert then turned his attention to President Trumps seemingly endless stream of tweets about Hurricane Dorian. After looking at Trumps Twitter feed over the weekend, Colbert concluded that it was all over the place.

“He pelted the American public with 122 tweets, including dozens of updates about the storm, mixed in with comments about the trade war with China, complaints about James Comey, and his annoyance with the actress Debra Messing,” he said while appearing exasperated.
