Stephen Colbert: 'He's not just Bernie Sanders, he's Grey Guevara'

[Scurrilous]

Late-night hosts discussed Sanders joining the White House race...

<snip>

"On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert joked that Sanders announced his run “in the most Bernie way possible” by revealing it on Vermont public radio.

The current crop of Democratic candidates are more diverse than ever with more women and people of colour than ever before yet Sanders is keen to point out that he shouldn’t be judged for being older, whiter and more male.

“Like Dr King, I have a dream – a dream where this diverse nation can come together and be led by an old white guy,” Colbert joked.

Sanders is also claiming that many of his rivals have benefitted from his 2016 rhetoric. “The political landscape has changed,” Colbert agreed. “The majority of Democratic candidates this time around have joined his revolution. He’s not just Bernie Sanders, he’s Grey Guevara.”
