That didn’t sit well with Colbert.
“OK. I’m going to stop you right there. We’ve seen your body. I’m not sure there are any bones in your body,” Colbert said to laughter, adding, “Just mascarpone cheese pumped into a cheap suit.”
The comedian wasn’t done, and then compared Trump to KFC founder Colonel Sanders.
“Racism is your brand,” Colbert continued. “It’s like Colonel Sanders saying ‘I don’t have a finger-lickin’ bone in my body.'”
