Stephen Colbert

Women have been elected to top offices in countries around the world, and now the United States is finally catching up, the comedian points out.


Sorry to interrupt...
But we wanted to take a moment to thank you for reading. Your support makes original LGBTQ+ reporting possible. Help us hold Trump accountable.

Comedian Stephen Colbert told his Late Show audience excitedly Tuesday that "something good happened to a woman," announcing Hillary Clinton's clinching the Democratic nomination for president.

Colbert said Clinton's win proves to women that "if you just work hard someday, you too can be vilified as an unlikable Machiavellian crone!"

However, Colbert pointed out the United States wouldn't be special if we were to elect a female president; we would instead be like "any other country in the world."

Watch Colbert discuss Clinton's victory.
