Stephen Colbert spotted a “real jaw-dropper” from Donald Trump when the former president finally faced facts about the 2020 election.
Trump admitted to podcaster Lex Fridman that he “lost by a whisker.”
Colbert was stunned.
“He admitted it!” Colbert said. “He admitted it on camera for everyone to see!”
The audience cheered, and Colbert replayed the clip.
Trump has spent years falsely claiming he was the victim of election fraud and that he really won in 2020. He also tried to pressure officials and lawmakers into overturning the results so he can stay in power despite losing, and sent an angry mob to the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the vote.
Trump and his 2020 allies are facing criminal charges in multiple jurisdictions over those efforts.
