German newspaper Der Spiegel was reportedly able to find passwords and information belonging to various Trump administration officials this week — specifically those involved in accidentally giving an editor access to military plans via the Signal messaging app — and on Thursday night, Stephen Colbert wasn’t even a little surprised.
According to the paper’s investigation, data including mobile numbers, email addresses and passwords were able to be found online, belonging to Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz.
“Finding this stuff wasn’t even a challenge for Der Spiegel. You know their slogan, der-mocracy dies in der-kness,” Colbert joked.
“According to their report, ‘It was particularly easy for Der Spiegel reporters to discover Hegseth’s mobile number and email address,’” Colbert continued in a German accent.
