joined the chorus of those who scored the debate a win for California Sen. Kamala Harris. He must have been distracted by her rhetorical mastery, though, because the lines he and his writers came up with were not especially effective.
As a former prosecutor, Colbert said, Harris “sentenced [her rivals] to two hours of being her pasty backup singers.” Former tech executive Andrew Yang, who departed from centuries of political decorum and ditched the necktie, also had a deer-in-headlights moment. After the clip, Colbert imagined him thinking, “I’m just trying to remember where I left my tie.”
Colbert also zinged NBC’s Chuck Todd for his performance as moderator. who “loves the sound of his own voice.” When Todd attempted to force the candidates to offer “one-word answers” to a question, Colbert volunteered what he thought a candidate could respond. “’Bite me, Chuck’? Oh … that’s three.”
