On The Colbert Report last night, host Stephen Colbert responded to an article in The Hill last Thursday that unveiled that Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) would prefer freshman Democrats to stay away from the popular comedy program.
The show features a segment called “Better Know a District” in which Colbert grills Congressmen, inevitably baiting them into saying something they might later regret.
“There is a new witch hunt in Washington,” Colbert said, “The Democratic leadership has unleashed a vicious attack on everything America holds dear: me.”
Colbert responded by unleashing his own attack on Emanuel, saying that his show “is the only thing keeping the Congressman from realizing his [liberal] agenda.”
“I’m coming for you Emanuel,” Colbert concluded.
