The presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a 2012 deposition that doctors told him a parasite had eaten part of his brain.
“This explains everything, and nothing,” Stephen Colbert said on Wednesday.
“I just want to say to any R.F.K. Jr. fans who might be watching, do not despair. Just because he has sworn in a deposition that he has parasitic brain damage doesn’t mean he’s going to drop out, because Bobby Kennedy Jr. does not know the meaning of the word ‘quit’ — ’cause that information was in the part of the brain that the worm ate.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Kristi Noem’s getting grilled harder than criminal defendant Donald Trump. Not only is she making Trump look good by comparison, but she’s making Kim Jong-un look good by comparison.
