Stephen Colbert roasts Trump over Truth Social DNC ‘fact check’ – and one particular post about Walz

Stephen Colbert couldn’t resist roasting Donald Trump about his so-called “fact check” of Kamala Harris’s speech at the Democratic National Convention.

On Thursday night, when Harris was accepting the Democratic party’s nomination, Trump took to Truth Social to give his own live commentary, firing off more than 50 posts during her 38-minute speech.

“Walz was only qualified to become some sort of vice president, if you think about it, good catch… good catch,” he added as the crowd laughed.

In his opening monologue, Colbert also poked fun at Walz while talking about the other events at the DNC.

“To honor the suffrage movement, at this moment many delegates and speakers wore all white – while Tim Walz honored suffrages by being all white,” he joked.

“That’s like saying, sorry we don’t have coke,
