Stephen Colbert Tells Mike Johnson It’s ‘Literally Your Place’ to Weigh In on J6 Pardons | Video

“They attacked the House of Representatives!” the CBS host balks

Donald Trump made sweeping pardons for those involved in the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol during his first day back in office, a move widely pushed back on by both sides of the aisle. House speaker Mike Johnson was not part of that pushback though, saying it wasn’t “my place” to do so — prompting Stephen Colbert to guffaw on Wednesday night.

During his monologue, the CBS host dragged just about every Republican who blindly supported the pardons, and even gave the middle finger — censored, of course — to one senator. But Colbert was particularly incensed by Johnson’s reply when asked about the pardons.
