Stephen Colbert on Wednesday addressed
a scathing New York Times op-ed written by an anonymous
senior Trump administration official in criticism of President
Trump.

The article, titled “I Am Part of the Resistance
Inside the Trump Administration,” criticized
Trump for his “amorality,”
and suggested that a network of officials had “vowed to
thwart parts” of Trump’s “agenda and his worst
inclinations.”

Colbert, who said that the article dropped about an hour
before the “Late Show’s” taping on Wednesday, joked briefly about
the piece in his monologue. 

“Mr. President, they traced the resistance, and it’s coming
from inside the White House! Get out of there! And, and stay out
of there!” Colbert said.

The “Late Show” host went on to discuss the article with
one of his guests, former Secretary of State John
Kerry. 

“It’s foreboding in so many ways. You have somebody
stealing something off the president’s desk in order to prevent
him making a decision,” Kerry said, referencing an admission in
the article. “What it means, Steve, is that we don’t really have
a president. We have a president who’s there, but he is not
capable of doing the job or living up to the
responsibilities.”
