CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed radio host Charlamagne Tha God to a live edition of The Late Show on night three of the Republican National Convention to irresponsibly suggest that if President Biden, or some other Democrat, wins in November, the Supreme Court will nullify it. He also suggested that Donald Trump’s rhetoric led to his being shot on Saturday, while also attacking the media for not calling him a threat to democracy in the shooting’s aftermath.
Later, Colbert would wonder, “The idea of toning down the rhetoric…You speak frankly on any issue. How can you speak frankly to the state of politics in America and the United States without risking inflaming someone?”
Charlamagne then proceeded to go on an extended diatribe against everybody, from Donald Trump to the media to Speaker Mike Johnson to VP-nominee JD Vance to Nikki Haley. First, on Trump, he appeared to blame the victim.
