Stephen Colbert has mocked George W Bush after the former US president’s gaffe during a speech in Dallas.
On Wednesday (18 May), Bush accidentally condemned the “brutal” and “unjustified” invasion of Iraq, before correcting himself to say he meant the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
On his late-night talk show, US comedian and TV host Colbert addressed the verbal snafu, describing it as a “Freudian slip”.
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky fared much better during his own speech at the opening ceremony for Cannes film festival this week.
