Stephen Colbert torched Vice President JD Vance’s thin defense of President Donald Trump’s ill-advised Jesus post.
On Sunday night, the 79-year-old president posted an AI-generated photograph of himself posing as Jesus Christ, hours after he had started a public feud with the pope. The post angered those in Trump’s loyal MAGA fanbase, leading the president to delete the picture and prompting the vice president to leap to his boss’s defense.
In the wake of the backlash, Vance, 41, told Fox News, “I think the president was posting a joke, and of course he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor in that case.”
