Thursday’s episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” began with a cold open joke about Republican Herschel Walker, the US Senate nominee.
This time Prerna is the latest scam – or rather, the string of scams – that started on Monday daily beast report That Walker, who says he opposes abortion, actually paid for the abortion of one of his ex-girlfriends. And, naturally, he provided evidence.
Walker, who is caught in a staggering number of shameless lie About himself and his personal life during the campaign, he naturally denied everything and insisted that he knew nothing about the woman. But then as The Daily Beast reported just 2 days later, it turns out this woman is actually also the mother of one of his Rising secret number of children, And yes, he gave proof.
Anyway, denying everything Walker said during an interview with Sean Hannity this week after the first part of the scandal broke, “That wasn’t me.” Which certainly sounds like the title of reggae and R&B singer Shaggy’s 2000 classic, “It Wasn’t Me.”
If you remember the song, it’s a duet with singer Rikrok, in which Rikrok explains how he got caught cheating in the most obvious way. Shaggy then gives him advice on how to get out of trouble: Just insist that “it wasn’t me.”
Well, “The Late Show” changed the lyrics so that it pertains to Walker, and references not only the scandal, but his many other lies, and the various oily explanations and justifications that he and his supporters have used. . And of course it pointed out (perhaps wishful thinking) the possibility that Walker’s scandals would help his rival, Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock.
You can watch the full clip above, but we’ll transcribe the parody’s lyrics below:
Many people think they caught me red handed
lying all about my kids
it’s not my fault i misunderstood
don’t know what i did
sometimes i’m wrong please don’t vote for warnock instead
It’s just because my head hurts so much
really thought i was actually in law enforcement
Also thought that Count Chocula gave me his support
I thought my best friend was the Egg McMuffin
That’s what happens when you get too many jerks
Who’s writing checks to too many women?
that was not me
Who has a bunch of secret kids?
that was not me
Who’s making the GOP squid?
that was not me
Who will win the Senate in the midterm?
that was not me
