Late Show host Stephen Colbert began Monday night’s show from behind his desk with an appeal for civility after this weekend’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
“My immediate reaction when I saw this on Saturday were horror at what was unfolding, relief that Donald Trump had lived and frankly grief for my beautiful country,” he said.
Colbert appealed for calm.
“Our job as American citizens is to reject violence and violent rhetoric in this time of crisis, however hard we want to fight for our ideas,” he said, calling violence “the last refuge of the incompetent.”
