CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Seth Meyers used the respective Monday editions of The Late Show and Late Night to roll out the red carpet for two of the most left-wing members of the Senate in Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. The two hosts lobbed mostly softballs and let their guests go on unchallenged monologues as they discussed their favorite pet issues.
On the Senate’s immigration bill, Colbert claimed that “it’s actually the bill the Republicans probably couldn’t get under other circumstances.”
Warren agreed and hyped various parts of the bill, “So people who are here, who are trying to get asylum, actually would be allowed, legally, to go get jobs… They can move out of shelters. They can pay taxes.”
However, she also attacked the bill from the left, “I also want to say there are some things that are really missing.”
