Stephen Colbert said Donald Trump has put a new spin on his usual fear-mongering about immigrants.
Trump this week claimed that immigrants are coming from “mental institutions and insane asylums” and that Hannibal Lecter ― the cannibalistic serial killer from Silence of the Lambs ― is entering the country.
“Did you ever hear of Hannibal Lecter? They’re being dropping into our country. Hannibal Lecter is coming in, lots of them!” Trump told a crowd in New Hampshire.
Colbert mockingly agreed.
“Yes. Hordes of Spanish-speaking Hannibal Lecters are skydiving into our country to steal jobs from hard-working American cannibals,” Colbert said. “I’m sorry, I think your liver should be eaten with fava beans and a nice Chianti, not mole sauce and a Dos Equis.”
