CBS host jokes that Mike Johnson has the support of all GOP factions including “horny Beetlejuice goblins” (Lauren Boebert)
Stephen Colbert had an amusing existential crisis on Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show,” when he explained who the new Speaker of the House is and then, after calling him “another boring while guy with glasses,” realized that also describes himself.
For a quick catch up, after 3 weeks the Republicans in Congress finally settled on a new Speaker of the House: Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson, a far right religious fundamentalist who among other things is an enthusiastic election denier who actively tried to help Donald Trump overthrow the government in 2020.
But despite his participation in a failed coup, Johnson is also practically an unknown in terms of political stardom, which is where Colbert found some humor.
