“Sean Hannity praised, in an interview with House GOP members, ‘more diversity in the Republican party’. Absolutely, just look at the Republican rainbow of inclusion, [Colbert said of Hannity’s all-white audience of Republican lawmakers]. The full spectrum … they’ve got eggshell, vanilla, Band-Aid, Band-Aid with glasses, everything.” —Stephen Colbert

“Newly elected New York congressman George Santos, who has a long history of stretching the truth – by never telling it. Among numerous exposed fabrications, a new complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission accuses Santos of extensive lies about campaign finances. The complaint alleges Santos loaned $705,000 of his own money to his campaign, even though 2020 records indicate he only had a fortune of $55,000. Fair enough, but what about all of his other names, because up until he ran for Congress, Santos used the aliases Anthony Zabrovsky and Anthony Devolder. He has so many aliases, he had to swear in on two Bibles and a Torah.” —Stephen Colbert
