Stephen Colbert had a good laugh at Fox News’ “The Five” on Wednesday night, after a guest host got pretty mixed up on her historical timeline and suggested President Harry S. Truman tried to buy Greenland almost two decades before he was born.
The discussion itself came about as Rosanna Scotto and the rest of the panel discussed Donald Trump’s sudden determination to annex Greenland (even going so far as to send his son to scout out the territory), and the reactions to it.
As the conversation progressed, Scotto argued that Greenland has been of interest to the U.S. before, specifically saying that President Truman tried to buy it back in 1867.
