The late-night host used one of Dixon\u2019s supporters during his recent monologue, mocking how the man, Khalil Othman,\u00a0said he was a Democrat who was leaving the party for the Republicans after discovering sexual content in his kid\u2019s school library.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert later issued an \u201capology\u201d to the man after he was called out by Michigan\u2019s largest newspaper, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/news\/local\/michigan\/wayne\/2022\/11\/02\/stephen-colbert-dearborn-man-dearborn\/69608126007\/\">Detroit Free Press<\/a>, which rebutted the host over his false attack against Dixon \u2014 he claimed that Othman was \u201ctotally made up,\u201d as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/michigans-largest-newspaper-rebuts-stephen-colbert-over-false-attack-on-gop-gov-candidate-tudor-dixon\">The Daily Wire<\/a> previously reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are not understanding the people of the country,\u201d Dixon told Kelly. \u201cYou\u2019re not understanding the heartbeat of America right now, and that is to make sure that our kids are protected, that they have a future and that they have safe communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cWhen you belittle parents who are concerned about their child\u2019s safety, no matter what the safety issue is, you are losing people for your own party and we welcome them to ours,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>During \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert\u201d on Thursday, the host said, \u201cThis very real person deserves an apology because he says, \u2018To claim that I\u2019m not here, I don\u2019t exist, I\u2019m not human, that\u2019s absolute ignorance,&#8217;\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/stephen-colbert-walks-back-tudor-dixon-swipe-ridicules-michigan-voter-referred\">Fox News<\/a> noted. \u201cSo I would like to apologize. It is a terrible thing for someone to deny your very existence. Just ask trans people. Therefore, I, Stephen Colbert, acknowledge that you exist and ask that you forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colbert then shared a part of what Othman had told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/news\/local\/michigan\/wayne\/2022\/11\/02\/stephen-colbert-dearborn-man-dearborn\/69608126007\/\">Detroit Free Press<\/a> that read, \u201cIf this person did his due diligence and start researching or has his team do a little bit of research of who\u2019s this person who attended Dixon\u2019s rally, they will be able to find my name right away easy on social media. Just Google it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The late-night host then took a swipe at the Michigan voter, when he said, \u201cOK, fair enough. But I will point out that Dixon never said your name. So what am I supposed to search for? All she said was I had a gentleman come up to me, and he said I found content in my school library describing how to have sex to my son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said Othman \u201cclaimed to be a Democratic politician but switched after he lost his primary and packed up his toys and went off in a huff to support\u201d Dixon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megyn Kelly interviewed Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon on Monday and asked her thoughts about Stephen Colbert\u2019s \u201capology\u201d after he mocked a Democratic supporter of hers.
