Stephen Colbert Torches Trump By Naming Biden's 'Most Inspiring' Quality

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Stephen Colbert said he’s going to miss President Joe Biden, who on Sunday announced he was dropping his reelection bid and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to run against Donald Trump. And most inspiring of all, at no time was he Donald Trump.” Colbert last week didn’t join the calls for Biden to step aside, but he did talk about the “courage” that Biden would need to choose self-sacrifice. “I believe he is a good enough man, he is a good enough president, to put the needs of the country ahead of the needs of his ego,” he said at the time. With Biden now out of the race, Colbert turned part of his “Late Show” monologue into a salute to the president ― and even retired his aviator sunglasses.
