In a desperate quest for ratings, late-night host Stephen Colbert is taking cheap shots at Melania Trump yet again.

Colbert took aim at this tweet Melania posted for Martin Luther King day:

Together we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay pic.twitter.com/Bv6m1ZZtXG

The washed-up comedian turned this thoughtful message into an opportunity to mock the first lady by stating that Melania “really relates to Dr. King’s message, especially the part about wanting to be free at last. It’s what I heard.”

If only Colbert’s jokes were as amusing as his pathetic life…

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham quickly eviscerated the un-funny comedian with this blistering statement:

“Here we go again — an irrelevant late-night talk show host mocking the first lady when her main focus is serving the American people,” Grisham told the Daily Caller. “His comments were disgraceful and certainly not original, but that doesn’t seem to matter when you’re hurting for ratings.” [Washington Examiner]

Yowza.

Well, Grisham certainly nailed that one and Colbert should definitely think twice before mocking our amazing first lady.
