Stephen Colbert opened his show last night by mocking Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) over her appearance, calling her “Mrs. Hamburglar”:
CBS's Stephen Colbert laments "Mrs. Hamburglar" aka Kyrsten Sinema has decided that "while she values voting, the filibuster is her first love" even though it's "an anti-Democratic tool, which is a pretty good description of Kyrsten Sinema."
Again, this is supposedly comedy. pic.twitter.com/qX9QtkjixK

Here’s the photo he showed to back that up:
The misogyny is okay when their side does it though:
The jab at the woman's appearance is a fun one.

The misogyny of the radical left has been on full display the last few days. https://t.co/DlCRhIHJoa

It’s “comedy”?
Late Night COMEDY? https://t.co/hm1IsOvn5C

I did do a scientific analysis of why the left are bad at comedy.https://t.co/g1isjuDDQa https://t.co/wIi2JnM3yb

He's basically just Olbermann with a laugh track. https://t.co/LpOjSLHn3C

But the show didn’t get any better for his star guest, Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Here she is bashing gerrymandering while representing a state with “zero elected House members”;
It's quite rich to hear Elizabeth Warren decry gerrymandering by Republicans as some national crisis when, in her own Commonwealth of Massachusetts, there's zero elected House members even though they have nine districts to go around and Trump won 32% in 2020. pic.twitter.com/mrETBkW365

And warren repeated the lie that it’s illegal to hand out water to voters in Georgia:
Warren falsely claims Georgia Republicans have made it "illegal" for voters to be "give[n]…a drink of water" while waiting to vote even if they're "waiting tow hours in the hot sun." (https://t.co/UY1U6dKvgM).
She also claims "not one…Republican" wants "to protect the vote" pic.twitter.com/2Y60HuG1MI

Warren went on to claim that “Republicans don’t want anyone to vote and they will steal elections at any cost”:
Keep telling liberals that Republicans don't want anyone to vote and they will steal elections at any cost, it's going to lead to violence. It's a radicalization and Senator Elizabeth Warren knows exactly what she's doing here with CBS's Stephen Colbert, but none of them care. pic.twitter.com/Fqj50Nvib2

We expect they’ll love the filibuster again once that happens:
I know this is too much to ask but I would have loved if Colbert had asked "what happens if you lose the majority in 2022, as many predict you will?"
That room would have gone dead silent. https://t.co/S9V8t17MN9
