Stephen Colbert ridicules Biden's ‘anti-immigration liberal’ border policy, Internet predicts he'll be 'right back to kissing up to him'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Stephen Colbert, a big supporter of Joe Biden, took issue with the president’s new border policy during his monologue on Tuesday night’s 'The Late Show'.

Colbert said he had a hard time understanding how “being an anti-immigration liberal” even works, followed by some jokes illustrating the contradiction between the border policy’s cruelty and the election year style sloganeering around issues favored by Biden’s likely voters.

Colbert critiques Biden’s executive order

“Biden is also in the news today because he issued an executive order allowing temporary border closure to migrants, and it’s being called the most restrictive border policy instituted by any modern Democrat,” Colbert said as he got to the topic.

“That is a tough needle to thread, being an anti-immigration liberal," Colbert continued. “So we’re going to seal the border, folks, but the wall is going to be gluten-free, and the barbed wire will be pro-choice.”

“It’s not a border wall. It’s a board-her wall,” Colbert added.

“Now this order is not playing great with progressives. In fact, back in February, AOC tweeted this about the then-proposal: ‘Seeking asylum is a legal right of all people, doing Trump impressions isn’t how we beat Trump,’” Colbert quoted. He then slipped into his Trump impression: “Nope, doing Trump impressions, she’s right. Folks, doing Trump impressions is how you fill 13 minutes of monologue every night.”

Colbert’s humorous take on Biden’s media presence

“We spend a lot of our time talking about a certain convicted felon,” he said, referring to Donald Trump. “And we’ll be doing that for a lot more time. But here’s the thing, there’s a guy running against him who we’ve learned on fact is the President of the United States, Joseph R Biden. And today, Biden, Biden’s family is here, evidently, this evening today, Biden is on the cover of Time Magazine.”

“That’s right, he’s courting the youth vote where the kids hang. Print media! Next stop, Zeppelins,” the host quipped.

Colbert noted Time used the same title for the story as the one the magazine recently did for Trump, “If He Wins.” He joked, “Next they’re planning a cover featuring RFK Jr — ‘If He Worms.”

“It is brave, I believe that is brave for Biden to do this cover, because he’s side by side with his nemesis: Time,” Colbert added.
