Stephen Colbert breaks down the January 6 committee hearing during live monologue

"We met the monster years ago."

"It's like Stranger Things: We met the monster years ago, and we're pretty sure the Russians are involved. And like the cast of Stranger Things, I have noticeably aged."

That was Stephen Colbert's introduction to day one of the Jan. 6 committee hearings on Thursday, as he took to the stage for a live Late Show monologue reflecting on the findings of the congressional committee investigating the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Over the next 10 minutes, Colbert broke down all the day's lowlights, from the Proud Boys going out for tacos just before the insurrection to Rep. Liz Cheney promising "evidence of what motivated this violence."

"Wow, they have footage of the former president's dad not hugging him?" responded Colbert.

Ultimately, though, he rounded things off with the following, sombre sentiment.

"After two hours of documentary evidence and testimony we learned that this insurrectionist conspiracy was, like everything else associated with that last administration: exactly what you thought, but worse than you could have imagined."

    3. I'm not interested in opinions of people backing domestic terrorists who tried to stop a legal election process. They don't care about our democracy or our Constitution. They are traitors to our country.

    5. sensationalized innuendo and speculation based on faulty assumptions leading to allegations by right wing personalities is not credible evidence of misconduct or fraudulent behavior.
      Try something with verifiable truth that can withstand the in depth investigations required to bring charges.

    6. Just happened in the recent GA primaries & likely other states as well. You’re ok with the steal as long as your dems come out on top. Anybody who chooses war, poverty & massive inflation etc over peace & prosperity & freedom has an obvious problem.

    18. so, tell us all EXACTLY how a coup was going to take place. If you believe a guy in a Viking suit was going to lead unarmed people in an attempt to overtake the Capitol and then control the Pentagon, along with 18 intel agencies, and then expect 50 states to fall in line…then you think Alec Baldwin killed fewer people than anyone on Jan 6, except for the cop who killed a trespasser in cold blood.

    23. A black LEO murdered a veteran white woman & is called a hero by the left. Just imagine if the races had been reversed. And yes calling the riot an attempted coup is far fetched as you stated.

    24. apparently escalating straight to shooting someone is okay as long as it takes out a political rival.

    1. Give up what? He is right. Trumps own daughter and husband screwed him royally. The smart ones knew when to jump ship and she is way, way smarter than her traitor dad. You dont see much togetherness there any more, do you? Trump is swallowed by the evil dark side and his own miserable self, and she is smart to look out for herself and family. Her dad has lost sight of reality and limitations and has fully embraced the alternate and the plain crazy

    2. I guess after 114 days of not giving a formal press interview for hard questions, truth telling is the last thing on Joe Brandon's mind these days. Side note: Appearing on Kimmel's Show was the lamest, and latest political move he could make. And Joe still sucked, even as Kimmel tried to help him with his boring persona.

    4. Joe is not only boring, he is also very dangerous. You may naively ignore his failings, but I assure you that most Americans are fed up with Joe & the cult of Dems lying to our faces in order to keep and hold their power over you and me at any cost to our treasure, our Constitution and our lives. It's time to vote every Dem out of power.

  36. Democracy is threatened by a relative handful of Viking-helmeted cretins on a single and singular day of complete idiocy yet it is safeguarded by a self-coronated cabal of morally and intellectual superior overlords and overpaid overpraised influencers who seek ideological hegemony over government, the courts, corporations, the Press, social media, academia, primary schools, science and the entire populace through abrogation of the First and Second Amendments?
