On last night’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the comedian tackled Pizzagate, Alex Jones, Reddit trolls, conspiracy theories and fake news in general. In a ten minute rant, the late night host completely destroyed the dangerous trend embraced by Trump followers as “truth.”

The epic monologue gives viewers a quick rundown of the Pizzagate conspiracy and acknowledges that he has now been dragged into the fake controversy calling the internet slueths “DaVinci chodes.”

“This is insane: I have no part in the pizzagate conspiracy — is what they want me to say,” Colbert said.
