The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert was the only late-night host to go live after Thursday night’s big primetime hearing from the Jan. 6 committee. And while they gave him plenty of material to work with, it was that video of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) comically fleeing the Capitol after riling up the rioters that he couldn’t stop talking about.
During his opening monologue, the Late Show host referred to Hawley as “the man who famously raised a fist in solidarity with the mob before entering Congress that day.”
“Turns out, once the mob broke into the building, he wasn’t quite so enthusiastic to stand with them!” Colbert added before playing the clip for any viewers who may have missed it. “Look at him go!” he said with a laugh, showing it once more with cartoon running sound effects underneath to add insult to injury.
