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.

...

After claiming that people like him need to choose to be hopeful, Colbert tried to help him out:

A lot of people chose to be hopeful last week. Five million people plus turned out for the No Kings rally… Thousands of people turned out in your district in Central Florida on the heels of the president sending in both the National Guard, nationalized Army National Guard, so Army members into Los Angeles and Marines in their using—violating posse comitatus, arresting people, and that was all in response to ICE doing raids around Los Angeles, somewhat indiscriminately. And even going into courts where people are trying to do the right thing and pulling them out and trying to get them out of the country without due process. You’ve described that as taxpayer-funded kidnapping operation. What do you mean by that?
