Stephen Colbert Exposes Trump-Backed Candidate’s Problem In 2 Scathing Words

“He suuuuuucks!” Colbert said, stretching out that second word as the audience cheered.

“Because historically, nothing projects winner like a Confederate soldier in Pennsylvania,” Colbert added.

Mastriano’s tanking popularity also led to an embarrassing moment this week when he held a rally and almost nobody came.
