Colbert Mocks Trump’s ‘Pro Shark Media’ Retweet: ‘We’ve Officially Entered the Dumbest Time in Human History’
Stephen Colbert tonight mocked President Donald Trump‘s latest Fox News-relevant tweetstorm and his actual sharing of a tweet from the parody account Trump But About Sharks.
Yesterday, to briefly recap, on Fox & Friends Ed Henry challenged Mark Levin on whether he’s okay with “a president asking his counterpart… to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.”
Levin complained that his question was “not honest” and went off in response. The president was clearly watching, as he retweeted pretty much anyone who mentioned Henry in a negative light and/or praised Levin. One of the tweet he retweeted was a bot that replaces words in the president’s tweets with the word “shark.”
After mocking Levin’s rant about the whistleblower, Colbert read that tweet out loud: “Amen Mark Levin, preach brother! You shut down Ed Henry and the pro shark media.”
“The President of the United States just tweeted the phrase ‘pro-shark media,'” Colbert said. “which means we’ve officially entered the dumbest time in human history. Beating the previous dumbest time, when we thought a spooky bird mask could protect you from the black plague.”
