Stephen Colbert took a baseball bat to President Trump\u2019s threat to prosecute Beyonc\u00e9 on Monday night, imagining the \u201cFormation\u201d singer\u2019s clap-back track that the \u201cLate Show\u201d team titled \u201cA Respons\u00e9 From Beyonc\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump made the unsubstantiated claim over the weekend that Beyonc\u00e9 and others were paid $11 million to endorse Kamala Harris, suggesting that they should be prosecuted. Colbert, who\u2019s years-long distaste for the president came to a head when CBS announced earlier this month that \u201cThe Late Show\u201d will terminate next spring, is hardly slowing his roll.<\/p>\n

Colbert vowed to pull no punches in his final months, even as CBS parent company Paramount was wrapping its settlement with Trump, raising questions about the timing and ramping up the war of words.<\/p>\n
On Monday night, \u201cThe Late Show\u201d racked up a video \u2013 labeled \u201cFAKE\u201d \u2013 of what Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s, uh, respons\u00e9, might sound like (roughly set to the music of \u201cIrreplaceable,\u201d which Colbert is apparently not, as the show is being shuttered permanently). It focuses, of course, on revelations about Trump\u2019s past associations with Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
Watch the video above, and follow along with the lyrics below:<\/p>\n
You and Jeff, you and Jeff<\/p>\n
If all of his files are released<\/p>\n
You are f\u2019ed<\/p>\n
You needed a distraction quick<\/p>\n
From all these damning Epstein pics<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t come for me like that<\/p>\n
I got a big ol\u2019 bat<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t you ever for a second<\/p>\n
Think we\u2019ll forget<\/p>\n
You\u2019re a pedophile\u2019s pal<\/p>\n
