As the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, finally visited the site of the devastating toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, nearly three weeks after the disaster. Twenty days late! I’m glad he’s not an EMT.” —Stephen Colbert
“And it looks like Buttigieg knows he acted slowly, as the transportation secretary admitted to reporters that he ‘could have spoken out sooner’. Adding, ‘And I would’ve been here earlier but traffic was a mess, trains are a disaster, all the flights were cancelled – someone should really deal with this country’s transportation!’” —Stephen Colbert
“Fox News, it’s important to give them their props when they deserve it. And here’s the thing: it’s a 24-hour news channel, and that can be hard to fill. We salute their ability to just invent outrage out of absolutely nothing on a slow news day. This week, the network dug down deep, tossed aside any last scraps of journalistic integrity, and yanked out a new dumb thing to pretend to be mad at. And because I also need something to talk about every night, I’m going to pretend to be mad at them for pretending to be mad about it. The latest invented controversy? New Lego characters with different skin tones, limb differences and disabilities, or as Fox News put it: ‘Lego is going woke!’ I don’t know why Fox is so upset about seeing representation in Legos. After all, I’m pretty sure Sean Hannity is one.” —Stephen Colbert
