Stephen Colbert took a break from attacking President Donald Trump this week to smite someone else.
His voters.
The soon-to-be-ex "Late Show" host giddily talked up the president's slumping poll numbers, much to the delight of his far-Left audience. Then, he made the matter personal.
Colbert looked into the camera and addressed anyone who pulled the lever for President Trump in 2024 and doesn't regret it.
"Who are you?" he asked before taking on the voice of a typical MAGA devotee.
“Well, I want gas to be expensive! I want the Kennedy Center blown up! And I know this is a pipe dream, but is there any way that maybe maybe we could get Denmark to hate us? Because I would just love it if the price of licorice went up, too.”
It's easy to knock down those arguments, from the fact that most people will never visit The Kennedy Center to how President Joe Biden made gas, and almost everything else, more expensive without Colbert complaining.
Look closer.
He's mocking the very people he refuses to invite on his show. Sure, Colbert will offer up his couch to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or former Vice President Kamala Harris. He even teed up Meryl Streep to do some of his propaganda for him.
What about Secretary of State Marco Rubio? The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro? Talk radio's Clay Travis?
Not a chance. And why? Because those conservatives would be able to defend their right-leaning views and turn the tables on Colbert's far-Left shtick.
it would make for great TV, and the ratings would go through the roof. Colbert and co. still won't allow it. We've seen studies showing how these far-Left talk shows speak to almost uniformly liberal guests. The rare conservatives to grace the shows are often folks like Marjorie Taylor-Greene, who recently turned against both President Trump and GOP positions.
Liz Cheney also suddenly became an acceptable guest when she turned on MAGA Nation.
It's never a fair debate on "The Late Show." Not even close. That's doubly true at "The View."
The show's co-hosts claim they've tried to book conservatives in the past with no luck. That's patently false, as proven by folks like Travis who have campaigned to appear on the show.
A 2025 study revealed just how imbalanced "The View's" political guests are, with 128 left-leaning guests and only two right-leaning souls.
More recently, "The View" called out conservative Isabel Brown for suggesting people have more children today, not less. Co-host Sunny Hostin even said it's a bad idea to have any children in today's Trumpified world.
"I think it’s just really reckless to be suggesting that people should have more children when you now know in this country there’s this affordability crisis."
The show not only attacked Brown on-air, but co-host Sara Haines continued the critique on its "Behind the Table" podcast.
Brown would love to grace the ABC show and defend her positions, but she claims the producers won't let that happen.

That tracks with everything we know about liberals, "The View" and the current state of debate in America. The Left loathes it. The Right says, "bring it on."
Talk show cowards like Colbert and "The View" crew would rather vent to their dwindling audience base than dare address the targets of their attacks.
