Stephen Colbert Has Absolutely Scathing Theory About Trump And Mark Robinson

Stephen Colbert guessed how Donald Trump is feeling about Mark Robinson, his handpicked candidate for governor in North Carolina now at the center of yet another scandal.

On Thursday, CNN reported that Robinson had been active on the comments section of a porn website, where he referred to himself as a “black NAZI.”

“Meaning Donald Trump might say he’s a very fine person, but would not rent an apartment to him,” Colbert said.

Trump in 2017 infamously said there were “very fine people on both sides” of conflict at a rally organized by white supremacists, who clashed with counterprotesters. Colbert was also referring to a 1973 federal lawsuit against Trump and his company alleging discrimination at Trump housing developments.
