Colbert: Elizabeth Warren Just Kicked off Her 2020 Campaign in Last Night’s Debate

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "I’m sure you guys keep up on what’s happening. You seem like an intelligent crowd. The big news since last we were together and talking has been from the Senate, where they’ve been debating the nomination of Trump’s attorney general and baby grandpa hybrid, Jeff Sessions. Well, they can do amazing things with genetics now. Well, during last night’s debate, Elizabeth Warren kicked off her 2020 presidential campaign. (Cheering and applause) They’re not joking — she did it, she did it by getting up to read a 1986 letter by Coretta Scott King criticizing Sessions’ record on civil and voting rights. This damning letter was critical in denying Sessions a federal judgeship 30 years ago. It was the worst thing that happened to Sessions in the 80s, other than his Flock of Seagulls haircut. Republicans, faced with this, handled the situation like adults by voting to silence Elizabeth Warren."
