- The Late Show host, in a monologue that aired Monday, led his audience and band in a repeated “Yes, we can” chant before joking about Barack Obama’s slogan.
- Following weekend “No Kings” rallies in several U.S. cities and in London, Stephen Colbert described the demonstrations as widespread and large based on images shown on his program.
- He singled out a protest sign reading “Jimmy Kimmel has higher ratings than you” as his favorite after running through a series of anti-Trump slogans.
- Colbert highlighted an inflatable depicting President Trump defecating on the U.S. Constitution and praised its “spectacular craftsmanship.”
- He tied the segment to current disputes by joking about airport security lines and the use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement at airports, as a conservative outlet later blasted the bit as childish.
