Stephen Colbert Schools Ron DeSantis After His Most Nonsensical Attack Yet

The "Late Show" host mocked the Florida governor's bizarre verb choice.
|

Stephen Colbert  on Thursday spotted one of the strangest political attacks yet by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis , who is struggling in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. 

DeSantis this week simultaneously continued his attacks on the LGBTQ+ community and defended his ongoing war with Disney by claiming the company is transing kids.

First of all: No they werent, Colbert fired back. And second: transing? Thats not a verb! 

He then took DeSantis strange grammar to the next level. 

Theyre transing kids. Theyre nonbinarying uncles. Theyre bisexualating baristas, he mocked. With God as my witness, I will not let your grandfather be lesbianed!
