[See NewsBusters for more.] Liberal CBS host Stephen Colbert is quickly becoming the home of choice for 2020 Democrats announcing they are running for president. On Tuesday’s Late Show, Colbert went so far as to hold hands with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand as he excitedly wondered, “So I'm just curious: Do you have anything you would like to announce?” After Gillibrand announced an exploratory committee to run for president, Colbert compared the current president to an arsonist: “Can we all agree that the world's on fire?... And America right now is interviewing for new fire chiefs? Because the present fire chief likes to play with matches.”
