(CBS NEWS) Stephen Colbert is not impressed by Donald Trump’s refusal to answer whether or not he’ll accept the election results in November, saying that the presidential candidate is essentially threatening to “wipe his fat a** with the Constitution.”
On Wednesday night, when asked point-blank whether he would “absolutely accept” the result of this election, Trump said, “I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at anything now. I’ll look at it at the time.” He also said, “I’ll keep you in suspense.”
Colbert replayed the clip on the “Late Show” and looked appalled, saying, “Oh my God.” He then played a clip of Clinton saying, “That’s horrifying.”
“Oh! Suspense! Democracy is going to end with a cliffhanger!” Colbert said. “I guess we’re all going to have to wait until November 9 to see if we still have a democracy – to see if Donald Trump is in the mood for a peaceful transfer of power, or if he’s going to wipe his fat a** with the Constitution.”
