Stephen Colbert slams Trump: 'Racism is your brand'
Watch Next

Donald Trump has come under fire from the late show hosts for his weak attempts to defend the slew of racist tweets he posted on Sunday.

The Daily Show's Trevor Noah broke down exactly what was wrong with his "don't have a racist bone in my body" comments, and on Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert also took a shot.

"You have said a lot of racist things," said The Late Show host. "You demanded the execution of the Central Park Five, who were innocent. You said Barack Obama was from Kenya. You wanted to ban all muslims. You said Mexicans were murderers. Racism is your brand.

"It's like Colonel Sanders saying 'I don't have a finger-lickin' bone in my body'."

Next he moved on to Trump's criticism of the Democratic Congresswomen's "shouting of the F...word" -- which he responded to with a video compilation of the many, many times Trump has sworn himself.

"They shouted the F-word?" said Colbert. "I'm sorry, did they offend your virgin ears?"
