“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert returned from his vacation to revel in the feud that’s just erupted between President Donald Trump and his MAGA faithful after the Justice Department claimed that late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s long-rumored client list doesn’t exist.
“You can’t take this away from your base,” Colbert warned Trump. “That is MAGA’s favorite conspiracy. What are we going to find out next? That immigrants aren’t eating cats? That if you, that if you sail to the horizon, you don’t fall off the world?”
But Trump has been urging his supporters to stop talking about Epstein, firing off a lengthy rant on Truth Social over the weekend calling him “a guy who never dies.”
“Wait, what?” a baffled Colbert said. “MAGA, you heard your leader. Jeffrey Epstein is alive!”
That’s pointing toward a plot twist in the Epstein saga.
“That can mean only one thing: Zombie Epstein. He’s coming for our brains,” Colbert said. “And thank goodness, ’cause I do not want to think about him anymore.”
