Conservative influencer Chaya Raichik expressed her confusion on her &#8220;Libs of TikTok&#8221; X account by asking, &#8220;What did I just watch?&#8221; The montage includes notable figures like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus performing fist pumps to Queen&#8217;s iconic song &#8220;We Will Rock You.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>National security expert Jim Hanson labeled it as \u201cthe purest distilled nuclear grade Cringe\u201d on his X account. Others echoed similar sentiments with comments like \u201can overload of cringe\u201d and questioned if the video was meant to distract from inflation issues. Some users sarcastically remarked about the lack of substantive policy discussions in the clip. However, there were also fans who praised the video; one person commented on Facebook that it brought them \u201cSO MUCH JOY!!!!\u201d while another expressed happiness to see Hillary receiving long-deserved recognition.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert&#8217;s show featured four nights of live broadcasts from Chicago following the Democratic National Convention events each evening. Additionally, they shared another montage celebrating last week&#8217;s theme called \u201cFemininomenon.\u201d During these shows, guests took turns supporting the Democratic presidential ticket while critiquing their Republican opponents. For instance, Pete Buttigieg criticized Trump\u2019s running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), stating that living in a Midwestern state does not equate to embodying Midwestern values such as humility and honesty.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez also discussed masculinity during her appearance with Colbert in Chicago, suggesting that Tim Walz is redefining what it means to be an upright man in America by challenging traditional notions held by Trump and Vance\u2019s campaign. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton highlighted how electrifying she found the DNC audience during its first night and noted her surprise at President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision not to run again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2678,"featured_media":2331164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stephen-Colbert-1024x682.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[8334,39327,32624,39325,39326],"class_list":["post-2331163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-aoc","tag-cringe-comedy","tag-hillary-clinton","tag-julia-louis-dreyfus","tag-the-late-show"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stephen-Colbert-1024x682.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2678"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
