Jeb Bush starts the parade, followed by Joe Biden. Now word arrives that another high-profile politico is booked for “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert: Bernie Sanders is due Sept. 18.
Vermont Sen. Sanders was quoted by The Washington Post as saying: “I love Stephen Colbert. I’m sure that Colbert will have a large viewing audience, and I think it’s a good thing to be seen by people outside of the normal political context.”
Sanders, who turns 74 on Tuesday, was on “The Colbert Report” several times, including last November.
“Do you frighten people when you walk around the Capitol?” Colbert said, noting Sanders as a Democratic socialist. “Are they afraid you’re going to take their tractor and give it to the whole village?”
“Hopefully, hopefully, we frighten the billionaire class,” Sanders replied.
ICYMI: Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders will be on Fallon and Colbert this week. It’s about to get interesting. http://t.co/SLuO87LDsG
