Stephen Colbert lauded an ultra-orthodox Jewish newspaper on Monday night after the paper photoshopped Secretary of State Hillary Clinton out of a now-iconic image of the president and his staff watching the bin Laden raid unfold.
“Impressive,” Colbert said “Usually getting rid of Hillary Clinton takes an entire presidential primary.”
As TPM reported on Monday, a Brooklyn-based Hasidic paper removed Clinton and Director for Counterterrorism Audrey Tomason from that famous photo due to an editorial policy that stipulates that they not intentionally include women in photos because they could be construed as being “sexually suggestive.”
“I am with the Hasids on this one,” Colbert said. “There is nothing more sexually suggestive than a woman killing a terrorist.”
