Stephen Colbert opened Monday’s (November 4) episode of The Late Show by sharing his thoughts on the latest election campaign drama, including Donald Trump‘s “lewd” interaction with a microphone.
The late-night host focused on Trump’s rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday (November 1), where the former president was given a handheld microphone after complaining about the mic stand not being to his liking. However, he also complained about the handheld microphone.
