Stephen Colbert Burns GOP Lawmaker Without Using A Single Word

The "Late Show" host called out Sen. Tommy Tuberville for his response to the pardons for Jan. 6 rioters.

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert tore into GOP lawmakers for their lack of outrage over President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon some 1,500 people convicted in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol ― including rioters who assaulted police officers.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said it was not his “place” to question Trump’s decision on the pardons.

“Not your place?” Colbert fired back in disbelief. “They attacked the House of Representatives. That is literally your place!”

Colbert also called out Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) over a “mind-boggling act of cowardice” for his response when asked if it was acceptable to pardon rioters who assaulted police officers.

“No that’s not acceptable, but I didn’t see it,” Tuberville told ABC. “I don’t believe it because I didn’t see it. Now, if I see it, I would believe it, but I didn’t see in that video.”
