Colbert Mourns Democrats 'Crumbled Like a Granola Bar In Your Packpack'

Despite being a group of people eager to portray the government shutdown as Republicans’ fault, the late night comedians used their Monday shows to attack Senate Democrats for finally realizing they had no leverage and ending the shutdown.

On CBS, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert mourned, “So yes, the shutdown may have been long and painful for millions of Americans, but at least it achieved jack squat.”

Colbert also decried that “None of those eight Senate Democrats are up for reelection next year, and two have announced they are retiring from the Senate. What a disappointing way to end your career. Reminds me of when Journey released their last single: ‘We Stopped Believin'.”
