TONIGHT: Say what you will about Dr. Ronny Jackson, but he sure knows how to keep people in the White House happy. #LSSC pic.twitter.com/jxs79o10bzStephen Colbert says he knows why President Donald Trump is so far standing by Ronny Jackson, the White House doctor he named to run the Department of Veterans Affairs. He’s also accused of passing around prescription drugs, which led to him being nicknamed “Candyman,” according to a report released Wednesday by the office of Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont. ), the ranking member on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. Trump, however, defended Jackson as “one of the finest people that I have met,” and on Wednesday night’s “Late Show,” Colbert said he thinks he knows why.
