Stephen Colbert Gives Trump Pal Steve Bannon A Stinging Prison Send-Off
Stephen Colbert told viewers Tuesday that longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon won’t get his wish to serve his four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress in a relatively cushy “Club Fed” facility.
As reported by CNN, Bannon will instead do his time in the more restrictive environment of a low-security prison, which means he could be locked up with violent offenders.
“But if he’s not in a cushy white-collar prison, how will Bannon maintain his meticulous personal grooming?” Colbert joked.
Bannon, who faces another possible prison sentence in a separate fraud case going to trial in September, is known for dressing down, often wearing shirts over his shirts. In 2018, Trump gave him the nickname “Sloppy Steve.”
