Women's March 2018: Bigger Crowds, Even Funnier Signs
In a lively recap from "The Late Show," Stephen Colbert humorously covered the Women's March of 2018, which saw massive turnouts across major cities, including 600,000 participants in Los Angeles and 300,000 in Chicago. Despite the significant demonstrations against the Trump administration, Colbert highlighted the often comical and creative signs attendees carried, such as "Super Callous Facist Racist Nazi Braggadocious" and "Please Note the Lack of Nazis at Our Marches."
Colbert jokingly noted the absence of the President, who was supposedly "working hard" from the White House, while the streets were filled with spirited dissenters. His witty commentary, peppered with personal anecdotes — including a hilarious football mishap — added a light-hearted approach to serious matters of women's rights and political activism.
The segment also touched on Trump's response to the marchers. Instead of acknowledging the protests, he tweeted about the beautiful weather and the success of his administration, dismissing the broader implications of the demonstrations.
This light-hearted yet poignant summary underscores the blend of humor and activism prevalent in Colbert's sketches, reminding viewers of the significant societal issues addressed during the marches while also entertaining with clever quips and social commentary.
