- He went on to say:
“You only survived this up until now because a lot of voters didn’t want to believe everything that was obvious to so many of us: that Donald Trump is a fascist. And when it comes to democracy versus fascism, I’m sorry, there are not fine people on both sides. So you need to choose: Donald Trump or the American people?”
Colbert began to trend on Twitter after celebrities and others shared the video of his emotional staements. Celebrities such as Danny Zucker, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Hale.
