Stephen Colbert mocks Trump's angry impeachment letter, line by line

In case you missed it, Trump sent an angry, six-page letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this week, banging on about his impeachment.

And if you don't fancy reading the whole thing (who could blame you?), then fear not: Stephen Colbert has picked out a few of the highlights.

After reading baffling snippets accusing Pelosi of "unfettered contempt for America's founding" and "offending Americans of faith," Colbert reads a quote in which Trump blames her for hurting his family.

"You've hurt them all," says Colbert, putting on his best Trump voice. "From the innocent wife I cheated on with a porn star, to the poor kids whose mother I bailed on two wives ago. All of them."

Oof.
