Stephen Colbert discovered the great condiment scandal at the Republican convention

Protect your ketchups, mayonnaises and relishes, for the great condiment scandal is among us.

During their two-hour Facebook Live broadcast of the condiments table at the Republican National Convention, The Late Show discovered a shocking mustard theft.

Yesterday's footage found that Fox News anchor Brett Baier pumped mustard directly into a plastic water bottle, prompting Stephen Colbert to ask the question, "Why?"

Unfortunately, we're still not sure of the answer.

The Late Show tweeted a photo of Brett Baier caught in the act with "#MustardGate" in order to bring attention to this national scandal.

Baier responded on Twitter, though his reply can be interpreted as a joke. Was he dodging the question and simply pretending that he drinks mustard, or does he really drink the condiment?

While accusations of Melania Trump's plagiarism remain the most notable scandal to arise from this week's RNC, this is a close second.

Update, July 20, 9:00 p.m. ET: Colbert set up a Facebook Live video monitoring the condiment station at the Republican National Convention.
