Stephen Colbert turned his attention to another member of the Trump family on Thursday night, setting his sights on Ivanka Trump and her grasp of the English language.
"She's gotten a ton of praise from the right for her poise and intelligence," he said during his "Late Show" monologue. "At the same time, it turns out, she doesn't know what words mean."
He then pointed out the Twitter findings of Vice writer Eve Peyser, who has been calling attention to "all the words Ivanka has used incorrectly" during interviews and on social media.

"It turns out and we've known this for a little while, she doesn't have the strongest grasp on the word 'Complicit,'" he continued, before showing a clip of her saying, "If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and making a positive impact, then I'm complicit."
"Yeah, it doesn't mean that," he deadpanned.

"Happy Birthday? He's 8 months old," exclaimed Colbert. "Either Ivanka doesn't get how birthdays work or, and this is possible, do rich people get more birthdays than we do?"
The last tweet he addressed was Ivanka writing, "Cuddling my little nephew Luke... the best part of an otherwise incredible day!" His response: "That is a dumb statement in an otherwise stupid tweet."

"I'm a little bit complicit with Ivanka here, if complicit is heretofore defined as I support her, which it timelessly doesn't," he said. "Ivanka rises at the apex of sunshine and does a lot of good on a relative basis. In fact, the entire Trump family is a big part of an otherwise great country. In conclusion, I might add, summarizing lastly, happy birthday."
