The president-elect’s latest feud began when Rep. Lewis told Meet The Press’ Chuck Todd that he does not view Trump as a “legitimate” president. In response, Trump used his Twitter account to tar Lewis’ district as “crime infested” and accuse the man who marched with Dr. King of being “All talk, talk, talk - no action or results.”

“Yes, well said,” Colbert remarked, mockingly, in his monologue Monday night. “John Lewis is all ‘talk, talk, talk.’ Unlike a real leader like Trump who’s all tweet, tweet, tweet.”

“So Trump spent the Martin Luther King weekend attacking a Civil Rights leader who marched and was beaten with Dr. King,” Colbert added. “What’s he going to do on Easter?”

From there, the host imagined Trump tweeting, “Loser Jesus dead for 3 days and then we’re supposed to believe he just wakes up? Fake news. I like gods who don’t die. Where’s the rebirth certificate?”
