Stephen Colbert Delivers 'Painful' Personal Message To Biden
HuffPost
"The Late Show" host gives the president a blunt look at the choice he's facing.
Stephen Colbert didn’t quite join the voices calling on President Joe Biden to step aside.
But the “Late Show” host, generally a strong supporter of the president, came very close on Monday night.
In his first show since last month’s debate with Donald Trump led to new questions about Biden’s mental stamina and calls for him to drop his reelection bid, Colbert noted that he interviewed the president at a campaign event just three months ago.
“That night, he seemed ancient but cogent,” Colbert said. “But our politics have become so weird, I don’t know what’s the right thing to do here.”
He noted that Biden’s attempts to reassure voters after the debate haven’t exactly gone well, especially after a curious moment in an ABC interview where the president appeared to say he did the “goodest” job he could do.
