After President Trump tweeted this week about NBC News' recent report that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called him a "moron," Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel took time during their Thursday shows to offer more of their take on the controversy.
Trump's tweet posted on Thursday morning reads: “Rex Tillerson never threatened to resign. This is Fake News put out by @NBCNews. Low news and reporting standards. No verification from me.”
“And as you know, nothing’s true without verification from me,” Colbert mocked after reading the tweet.
To elaborate, Colbert jokingly referenced Trump’s past arguments. “Obama’s birth certificate, totally fake ‘til I said it wasn’t,” Colbert said impersonating Trump. “Last year’s election? Totally rigged until I won it. Then again, what do I know? I’m a verified moron.”
