You’re plotting the biggest crime in American history, you might want to use some code words (poop emoji, 4, brain emoji)

July 2022

“On to another scandal: the scheme by Trump allies in 2020 to install falsely appointed electors to the US electoral college in an attempt to overturn the results of the election. Everybody’s been calling them fake electors because they were fake, and that’s a crime to have fake electors. But surely the people who crimed the crime wouldn’t call them that, right? Because that’s proof that they knew their crime was a crime while they crimed it.” —Stephen Colbert

“In fact, the New York Times obtained emails from the plotters of the fake electors scheme, in which they repeatedly used the word ‘fake’ to refer to the so-called electors. That’s just straight-up saying it! You’re plotting the biggest crime in American history, you might want to use some code words.” —Stephen Colbert

“In a follow-up email, Phoenix-based lawyer Jack Wilenchik, who worked with the Trump campaign, wrote: ‘alternative’ votes is probably a better term than ‘fake’ votes” along with a smiley face emoji. He realized he incriminated himself in an email, then he admitted it in the next email, Shrug emoji, poop emoji, 4, brain emoji.” —Stephen Colbert

“Another of the plotters referred to the Trump lawyer Cleta Mitchell as ‘Clita’ and ‘Clavita’ — that’s a surprise, most Republican men can’t find the Clavita.” —Stephen Colbert
