Stephen Colbert Exposes Trump-Backed Candidate's Problem In 2 Scathing Words

Former President Donald Trump ’s endorsement doesn’t have the same punch as it used to. On Thursday, Stephen Colbert pointed to one MAGA candidate who is struggling: Doug Mastriano .
Mastriano, the Trump-backed Republican nominee for governor in Pennsylvania, is down by 10 points in the FiveThirtyEight average, and “The Late Show” host broke the candidate’s problem down to just two words.
“He suuuuuucks!” Colbert said, stretching out that second word as the audience cheered.
“Among the ways that he sucks, he attended the Jan. 6 riot , has a long-standing association with Christian nationalist ideas, proposed charging women who violate an abortion ban with murder, is connected to a social media site run by a notorious anti-Semite and was photographed wearing a Confederate uniform .”
“Because historically, nothing projects winner like a Confederate soldier in Pennsylvania,” Colbert added.
Mastriano’s tanking popularity also led to an embarrassing moment this week when he held a rally and almost nobody came .

Mastriano is here, and that's the problem.
Colbert is trying to save himself. Can't be funny. Can't keep audience, much the less keep it. Then better turn hyper political.
Must really suck to be Colbert- losing to a Fox show.
funny how your month old link, for July ratings, fails to mention that Colbert's show was in reruns for 2 weeks while he was on vacation.
Thread 1.1 cleaned up due to nasty comments going both ways. Play nice.

Colbert was born in Washington, DC, grew up in South Carolina, and graduated from Northwestern University. He started out in adult life as a registered Republican .
He understands this America that he speaks of.
I like how his character in his previous show completely hoodwinked republicans. funny how comedy and sarcasm are completely lost on them.
This is sad. Many brave Pennsylvanians fought bravely and died defending freedom and liberty from that bunch of traitors. One very important and significant battle was fought in Mastriano's own backyard (Gettysburg is everybody's backyard in PA)
