Late-night hosts poked fun at the conspiracy theories surrounding JeffreyEpstein's death THRNews
"This has set off a wild wave of conspiracy theories online. The sort of stuff that only unstable tinfoil-hat loons could possibly believe — so, Donald Trump," Stephen Colbert said of the online speculating after Epstein's death.The 66-year-old accused sex trafficker
"That's your theory? I'm not saying the Clintons don't have any power. They could definitely get a reservation at any restaurant in New York City," said Colbert. "But masterminding a scheme to assassinate a high-profile prisoner in maximum security federal custody? They couldn't even mastermind a visit to Wisconsin."
The host suggested that Trump make a Finsta account, which is a secret Instagram account that only his friends would be able to see. "Then he can use that to just go crazy with his racist stuff, conspiracy theories, butt pics. He can just let it all out," Noah said. "And America doesn't have to stress."
The host said that he understood why people were suspicious of Epstein's death, though he did not think that there was a conspiracy. "For me, the conspiracy has been taking place over the last 10 years. First of all, Epstein only magically served 13 months for his crimes and in that 13 months he got to leave prison and go to the office six days a week," said Noah. He added that the prosecutor sealed the case, which protected Epstein and his co-conspirators.
Meyers shared that Trump began his political career by promoting the conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in America. "It wasn't just that Trump accused Obama of being born in Kenya, he also invented an insane fantasy where Obama had faked documents," said Meyers. "At one point he even claimed his own investigators were discovering evidence that proved Obama was hiding the truth.
