In his latest episode, Stephen Colbert lambasts President Trump's Congressional address and the Democratic opposition's muted protests. While Trump boasted about his administration's accomplishments, Democrats held up placards reading 'lies' and 'false,' prompting Colbert to mock their quiet dissent. He emphasizes the futility of their symbolic gestures, poking fun at their fashion choices and lack of action. The segment highlights the absurdity of the situation, especially through the lens of Rep. Al Green's forced removal for vocal protest, ultimately calling for more direct action from opposition lawmakers.
Meanwhile, Colbert turned to the opposition's symbolic gestures: He barked out one appalling claim after another, but don't you worry: Democrats are getting ready to fight back with their little paddles.
It's the kind of bold protest that says, This is a test print and your magenta cartridge is working.' But one Democrat did manage to get Colbert's seal of approval: Rep. Al Green (D-TX).
Colbert explained, before twisting the knife: Now, some people have questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove one old man with a cane.
Colbert quipped. Or bidding on an antique tea set. It was hard to tell what was going on.
