“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Monday responded to the attempted terror attacks in New York City and New Jersey over the weekend. The alleged perpetrator, 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami, was arrested on Monday after a gun battle with police.
“Rahami should have known that he couldn’t terrorize us,” Colbert said. “New Yorkers are not fazed by meatheads from New Jersey coming into the city on a Saturday night to make a lot of noise. We’re used to it.”
“New Yorkers are used to danger,” he continued. “This is a city with a neighborhood called Hell’s Kitchen. The official New York City bird is the middle finger. And I dare you to name one other city where someone will punch you in the face just for saying hi on the street.”
