Last night, Stephen Colbert defended Ohio Congressional candidate Rich Iott, who said his Nazi reenactment was simply “a father-son bonding thing.” Colbert said: “That’s right. Fathers bond with their sons in all kinds of ways. Building a boat, fixing the car, solving the Jewish problem.”

Colbert also slammed Eric Cantor, who is Jewish, for “[running] away from a fellow Republican” and repudiating Iott. “Thanks, Eric Cantor. Without your support, now Iott’s gonna lose the Jewish vote.”
