During his opening monologue Thursday night, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert recapped the Democratic debate; taking swipes at Republicans along the way. Colbert played a clip of Pete Buttigieg talking about how "the Republican Party likes to cloak itself in the language of religion." Colbert reacted to that clip: "I don't know, mayor, nowadays, it's less of a cloak and more of a sheet," effectively comparing Republicans to the KKK. Colbert took the lead of many of his colleagues in the media by praising Kamala Harris. After playing a clip of Harris's exchange with Joe Biden on school busing, Colbert declared: "I believe Harris on busing because she clearly just took Biden to school."
