“You sound like a groom who only invites his coworkers to his bachelor party,” Colbert joked.
Colbert wondered why Vance was chosen for the role, since he didn’t consider a single new state and didn’t help Trump with any key constituencies. He then showed a clip of Trump giving a “very Trump answer” when asked about Vance on Fox News.
“He probably liked me more than anybody,” Trump said.
“Really?” Colbert said incredulously. “Really? Vance likes Trump more than anybody else? Is that true?”
“Of course,” the former first lady agreed.
“That makes sense,” Colbert said. “It’s a confirmed fact.”
