During a recent episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the host shared his thoughts on the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In classic Colbert fashion, he didn’t hold back when it came to criticizing the chaotic event.
Colbert joked that Biden debated “as well as Abraham Lincoln, if you dug him up right now.” This sarcastic comment highlights Colbert’s belief that Biden outperformed expectations during the debate, despite facing multiple interruptions and attacks from Trump.
The comparison to Lincoln, a legendary figure in American history known for his eloquence and leadership during a tumultuous time, was intended to emphasize Biden’s ability to remain composed and articulate in the face of adversity. Colbert’s humor puts a humorous spin on what many viewers found to be a frustrating and unproductive debate.
While the first debate may have been a chaotic affair, Colbert’s comments serve as a reminder that even in the most challenging situations, it is possible to rise above the chaos and make a powerful impact. As the election continues to heat up, it will be interesting to see how both candidates handle future debates and communicate their visions for the future of the country.
