It’s been a running story that there’s been a revolving door for staff at the Trump White House, with White House Communications Director Hope Hicks being the latest exit this week, with rumblings that special adviser HR McMasters will be next and Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s place being questioned after Kushner’s security clearance was significantly downgraded last week.
After discussing those developments, Stephen Colbert spent the end of his “Late Show” monologue Thursday night discussing somebody who has somehow managed to stick around since Trump took office at the beginning of last year: Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“The guy who’s really upsetting Trump is attorney general and ‘racist Dobby’ Jeff Sessions,” Colbert said, kicking off this segue with a “Harry Potter” joke.
