The Late Show With Stephen Colbert aired its final program last night. From the time Trump first ran for office and defeated Hillary Clinton all the way through to this week, Colbert's show has been what we've liked to call DNC-TV.
But don't take our word for it. The DNC's farewell to Colbert has helped make it quite clear what that "comedy" show was really about:
Thank you, Stephen Colbert. pic.twitter.com/8tVBbtfiRi

Not that we didn't already know, but it was nice of the DNC to reiterate that point.
Thank you for reminding us that Colbert was an activist, not a comedian.

The DNC should at least gift Colbert with a gold watch or something like that.
