That's the guy he lied to, not me

Louis C.K. has a new standup special up on Netflix and so he’s doing the rounds to promote it. Last night he went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert asked him about his very political letter concerning Trump late last year, where the comedian called Trump “Hitler,” and a “bigot,” amongst other things. C.K. later was quoted as saying he “regretted” having written those things.

Colbert: Why say you “regretted” saying those things? You’ve said worse things and have not taken them back. C.K.: Oh, I don’t take it back, I regret it—there’s a difference. Colbert: What is the difference? C.K.: Well, I regret saying it but that does not mean it’s not true.

Louis C.K. explains that the story got blown up into a strange place for him with his face next to Trump’s face on New York City newspapers. But he also says he wouldn’t take it back. Colbert asked him if his thoughts about Donald Trump had changed since he became president.

C.K.: Well, now I guess he’s not as profound as I thought he was. At the time I thought he was some kind of “new evil”—but he’s just a lying sack of shit. It’s just simple.

It only gets better from there.

Enjoy.
