The Trump racism controversy isn't going away anytime soon. After posting a series of racist tweets about four Democratic Congresswomen on Sunday, the president is now attending rallies where the crowd openly chants "send her back" -- a grim echo of a line from one of the president's own tweets.

His weak excuse afterwards? "I disagree with it. But again, I didn't say that, they did."

Needless to say, Stephen Colbert wasn't having any of it.

"Wait a second Trump, you disagree with it?" asks the Late Show host in the clip above. "Hey mister, this is your party. You're the bride at the white power wedding.

"[...] For Pete's sake, if you're going to be a demagogue then at least grow a pair and take responsibility for what you inspired them to chant, wussolini."
