Stephen Colbert Wonders If Donald Trump Will Get WaPo’s “Democracy Dies In Darkness” Message

UPDATED with video: After a spittle-spewing segment about Infowars star/conspiracy theorist/President Donald Trump “validator” Alex Jones, Late Show host Stephen Colbert noted Trump had named the media “the enemy of the American people.”

To which Washington Post responded today with the addition of a nuts-to-you slogan which, sadly, did not read “Nuts To You” but rather, more self-importantly: “Democracy Dies In Darkness.”

Late Show’s Stephen Colbert noted President Trump will get this strong “goth phase” message, just as soon as he sees it mentioned on Fox & Friends.

“DDiD” beat out WaPo’s other top choices, Colbert said, including:

“No, You Shut Up!”

…and:

“We Took Down Nixon – Who Wants Next?”
