He delivers a powerful editorial on the latest mass shooting, this time in Maine where 18 people were killed and many others injured and condemns the weaselly response that people like the new speaker Mike Johnson give after these needless tragedies that keep happening over and over again.

Colbert puts in in much better words than I can do.
Stephen Colbert is a devout Catholic man, and he used his faith to work a day in the fields and then testified to Congress about it and taking care of “the least of these”. MAGA Mike Johnson is a fan of that branch of Christianity that says God rewards the wealthy and the poor deserve it.
Leading with “he was mentally ill”… OK. Interesting choice.

We need a catchy name for the victims of mass shootings. Like “right to life.”
