On Monday, CBS late night host Stephen Colbert described his 'grief' and 'horror' over the attempted assassination of former President Trump.
During CBS’ 'The Late Show' on Monday night, host Stephen Colbert expressed grief for America after the assassination attempt against former President Trump. Ahead of his typical format, Colbert played a prerecorded monologue of his thoughts about the attempted murder of Trump. He remarked that a 'great tragedy' almost occurred and described the 'horror' of finding out that a rally attendee was killed.
An assassin’s bullet grazed Trump’s right ear, narrowly avoiding killing the former president only minutes into his speech at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on January 13. Trump was not seriously hurt, though other rally goers were hit with stray fire. One was killed. U.S. Secret Service snipers killed the suspected assassin immediately after he fired several shots at Trump.
Referencing how he reacted to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021, Meyers continued, 'I said then that multiracial, pluralistic democracy is fragile and precious. It requires our vigilance, stewardship and protection. That’s as true now as it was then, and in light of the horrific events at a Trump rally on Saturday, it’s clear that we must recommit ourselves to that endeavor as fully and as steadfastly as we can.
