Have you seen California? That’s not the threat it once was, China (Also a perfect slogan for White Castle)

August 2022

“Nancy Pelosi’s controversial trip to Taiwan has drawn intense ire from the Chinese government. Chinese officials warned the House speaker, unsubtly, that ‘those who play with fire will perish by it.’ Have you seen California? That’s not the threat it once was, China.” —Stephen Colbert

“China warned its military ‘won’t sit by idly’ if Pelosi visited Taiwan, and warned ‘no matter for what reason Pelosi goes to Taiwan, it will be a stupid, dangerous and unnecessary gamble.’ That’s ominous. Also a perfect slogan for White Castle.” —Stephen Colbert

“Furthermore, the Chinese military conducted live-fire drills in the South China Sea and scrambled jets as Pelosi’s plane landed in Taiwan. All of this for an 82-year-old woman with bones made of peanut brittle. Tensions are so bad the defense department has upgraded its readiness to Defcon Mee-maw.” —Stephen Colbert
