CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Rep. Maxwell Frost to Thursday’s taping of The Late Show for a discussion that appeared to be a challenge on whether Frost could continue to one-up himself with his hysterical labels for the Trump Administration.
Colbert began by asking Frost to, “Compare and contrast your experience from the first year to now in the middle of your third year, and please support your answer with specific examples.”
For Frost, the answer is that the current administration is fascist, “Look, obviously we’re in just so much chaos right now in this country, and when I think back to when I first got into Congress, I felt like we were doing such good work with the administration, it was a different administration, by the way… But I felt like, you know, this fight against the far-right neo-fascism, for me at least, was mainly taking stage in my home in Florida, fighting against Ron DeSantis and the extremism there. And something I always told people was that Project 2025 is actually Florida 2022, Florida 2020, and the stuff that's going around the country we have been dealing with in the South for a long time. Especially in my state of Florida. So, the difference is, it's like the struggle in my state has been spread throughout the nation.”
