I\u2019m wondering whether you and your fellow Sunday morning guys out there who are doing the Sunday shows talking about the week, if you ever feel like you shouldn\u2019t have on people who have the irrational belief that the last election was stolen,\u201d Colbert dove right into the January 6 conversation immediately after introducing <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/06\/chris-wallace-challenges-corey-lewandowski-stop-blaming-media-trump-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wallace<\/a>, and the audience cheered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I know you\u2019ve held these guys feet to the fire. I\u2019m not\u2014 I don\u2019t want to suggest that you haven\u2019t pushed back. You have, quite famously,\u201d Colbert continued. \u201cBut have you ever seen anything so cynical in Washington, D.C., than this knowledgeable\u2014 people saying things they know aren\u2019t true, that they know has to have lasting damage on our democracy coming on TV and saying these things with a straight face?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have never seen this,\u201d Wallace agreed, saying that after four decades in Washington he had certainly seen plenty of bad things but that he had never seen something quite like the response to the Capitol riots.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to argue that, while he believed it was possible that some of them were \u201cdelusional,\u201d he believed more were making a political calculation designed to appease former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, I don\u2019t believe that you just sit there and say, \u2018I\u2019m not going to have them on.\u2019 But if I\u2019m going to have them on, I\u2019m going to hold them to account over and over about, you know, what about\u2014 what about this election?\u201d Wallace continued, saying that he pressed them repeatedly to admit that Biden was \u201celected fair and square.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colbert asked whether Wallace prepped his guests, warning them that if they pushed election denial he would call them out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t prepare it, they know me. They know I\u2019m going to be like that,\u201d Wallace said, adding that he had been sickened by what he watched on Jan. 6 and he could not let that go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was, too,\u201d Colbert agreed, adding that he thought people who were unwilling to speak or at least admit the truth should be disqualified from being in the public sphere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes it worry that you give legitimacy to people who have abdicated all public responsibility?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, there are plenty of people who, you know, were other leaders of \u2014 in the Congress \u2014 of challenging it that I just have not had on the show ever since then.
