“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert ranted to viewers Tuesday that President Donald Trump sought to ‘endanger’ his supporters by holding an indoor “rally” during the COVID-19 epidemic, while his opponent Joe Biden has kept in-person events to a minimum throughout his campaign.

“While he was thanking his supporters by endangering their health, Trump took a shot at Biden for not doing that,” Colbert said.

Colbert then shared a clip of Trump slamming Biden for keeping to his basement and not reaching out to voters on the campaign trail, saying, “He’s [Biden] coming up once every three or four days. I’ve been in every state. I’ve been to so many states the last few days.”

Trump held the roundtable for Latino voters on Sunday night in Nevada.

“Trump again implied that coronavirus is a plot by the Democrat and that after the election, governors who had shut down their states to protect their citizens would prove it to him,” Colbert explained.

“So, you’re saying this is all a just a big prank on all of us. Well, I’ll say this, it does feel like the worst episode of Jackass.”

Historic House Vote Expels Rep. George Santos Amidst Scandal

In a turn of events, the House of Representatives made history on Friday with a vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), marking the first such expulsion in over two decades. A moment fraught with gravity unfolded as Speaker Mike Johnson wielded his gavel to formalize Santos’ removal, setting a precedent in congressional annals.

Santos, indicted on 23 counts related to wire fraud, identity theft, and other charges, has not faced conviction but stands accused of misusing campaign funds for opulent purchases. The bipartisan vote, tallying 311 to 114, signaled robust support for expulsion, with a marginally higher number of Republicans opting to retain Santos.

Questions loomed as Speaker Johnson left the chamber, his silence leaving the fate of the ongoing government spending battle uncertain. According to reports from Fox News, Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer emphasized the non-partisan nature of the decision, asserting that members concluded Santos had tarnished the House’s reputation and was unfit for representation.

Within the GOP, conflicting opinions emerged, with Rep. Darrell Issa arguing against expulsion, citing the presumption of innocence. The tight-lipped stance of the House Ethics Committee played a pivotal role in the deliberations.

Conversely, members of the New York Republican delegation, led by Rep. Marc Molinaro, asserted Santos’ commission of crimes, justifying expulsion based on a comprehensive investigation.

Santos himself predicted the outcome in an exclusive morning interview on “FOX & Friends.” This vote not only underlines the House’s rare use of expulsion powers but also sets a critical precedent in handling members facing severe legal challenges.
