Some targeted guns, others showed solidarity with the victims. Stephen Colbert went after Donald Trump.
Conan O’Brien on TBS noted: “These mass shootings are happening so often now that lamenting them afterwards is becoming a national ritual.”
O’Brien said he agreed with national sentiment that it’s “time to grow up and figure this out.”
Colbert made a stab at understanding Donald Trump’s remarks, using what he called the “Figure-It-Out-A-Tron.”
“Donald Trump refuses to be politically correct. And just to be safe, he refuses to be correct,” said the “The Late Show” host.
He then drew lines on a blackboard that ended up in a Nazi swastika.
Meyers said: “I have a feeling Donald Trump’s not giving blood [as those in Florida did], and if he did no on would want it because it probably looks like ectoplasm.”
Here’s how the comedic colleagues dealt with the tragedy.
