Read more about it here.Anyway, as always the cold open began with a news supercut explaining the matter, then came the gag, a fake commercial that begins with repurposed footage from a real The Right Stuff ad, featuring Ryan McEnany (sister of ex-Trump spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany). “The right stuff is all about getting into the right dating pool with people who share the same values and beliefs as you. It’s easy,” the ad promises.
“Just scroll through all the eligible conservatives.”Then came the parody. “Like Rudy,” the ad continued, showing a picture of Rudy Giuliani. “He believes in family values, and he proved it by marrying his cousin.”“Ted,” the ad went on — and yes, it’s a photo of Ted Cruz.
“You won’t need birth control, because the ex-president took his balls.”“Don Jr. He loves fresh powder. And he skis!” the ad promises.
We probably don’t have to tell you what that’s about, right?“Eric. ummmmm,” the ad says before a hand quickly swipes left on Eric Trump’s photo.”“Matt,” the ad says, as a photo of Florida congressman Matt Gaetz is shown. “Oops, he’s not on this app.
He dates on Venmo.” Again, we probably don’t need to explain that joke.“Download The Right Stuff today,” the fake ad concludes. “And have your heart stolen, just like we pretend the election was.”You can watch the clip above. But a note to Colbert’s writers: We know that they never mention Donald Trump’s name on purpose, but IRL conservatives would never refer to him as “the ex-president.” Anyway, as we said, watch it above.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has become a top surrogate for former President Donald Trump this election cycle, raising speculation the Georgia Republican could be on the short list to be his running mate in 2024.

The strategy has made Greene a pariah among Democrats, who voted last year to strip her of committee assignments in the House, but popular among the Make America Great Again contingent of Republicans.
