Stephen Colbert Trolls 'MAGA Citizens' After World's Saddest Border Stunt
Stephen Colbert spotted a stunt by “MAGA citizens” that hasn’t exactly gone as advertised.
“The Late Show” host said a group of QAnon conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and others from the far right had promised to turn up at the border with 700,000 people in a show of force.
So far, Colbert noted, only a few dozen people have arrived, mostly men over the age of 60.
“It’s less a convoy and more a Denny’s at 10 a.m.,” Colbert cracked, and shared an image of the caravan, which calls itself “God’s Army”:
Guys, this is the fucking convoy. That’s it. Not a semi truck in site. 19 vehicles. Anything other images you are seeing of a large group of trucks is from 2022 #Convoypic.twitter.com/yJZ2SH1pMN

“Wow,” Colbert said. “Does God need more funding? Because it doesn’t look like God’s Army could take on the Salvation Army.”
