It was a story that seemed to have been written for television late at night.
While the Washington Post Lede read: “Many US Secret Service agents have stood guard in Washington’s elite Kalorama neighborhood, home for years of cabinet secretaries and former presidents. These agents had to worry about death threats, secure perimeters and strange suspects. But with the arrival of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, they had a new concern: finding a bathroom. “
What followed was an increasingly hilarious and absurd story about the couple’s refusal to allow Secret Service agents charged with protecting them to use any of their six and a half bathrooms, forcing taxpayers to pay the bill. a $ 3,000-a-month basement studio just then they had a place to relieve themselves.
“For those of you who think you couldn’t dislike Jared and Ivanka more, we have an important update,” said Stephen Colbert during his monologue on Thursday night, before telling the most absurd details of the story. “Although I understand that the Kushner toilets can be very busy right now, with Jared and Ivanka flushing out their social lives and their political future.”
While the Late Show The host explained that at first the agents were using a bathroom in a garage at Barack and Michelle Obama’s house on the same street, but “this solution was also short-lived after a Trump / Kushner class Secret Service supervisor left a mess. nasty in the bathroom of Obama. ”
“Did you mess up Barack Obama’s bathroom ?!” Colbert exclaimed. “Come on, the man is retired! Is he literally too old for this shit !?
As for the rented studio, which has cost $ 100,000 to date, he added. “This is expensive crap. Which, I must say, is really branded for Ivanka. “
“I wasn’t a fan of this couple before, but it seems particularly stupid of Jared and Ivanka doesn’t [allow] Secret service in their bathrooms, ”said Colbert. “I’m just saying that these are men and women who would literally be shot for you. The least you can do is let them pee. “
