Stephen Colbert Wonders Why Biden Was 'Dignifying' Trump With Debate

Posted • July 9, 2024: After a couple of weeks of vacation, the full slate of late night comedy shows returned on Monday to reveal their reactions to President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance and subsequent interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

While nobody called for Biden to step aside, there were definitely calls for him to step up his game because democracy is allegedly at stake.

On CBS and The Late Show, Biden fundraiser Stephen Colbert lamented that Biden was not up to the task, “Trump proved once again that he is demonstrably a monster.

He is a demonster!

And keep in mind, keep in mind, Joe called for this debate, it's the earliest they've ever had a presidential debate.

And going into it, all Joe had to do was allay people's fears that he was too old.

But instead, Biden's shakiness allowed Trump to get away with 90 minutes of lies, racism, and weird golf brags, which is why a lot of people are saying this was the worst debate performance of all time.”
