Sanders’ comments came after days of protests in cities across the country by those who were upset by the outcome of last week’s presidential election.
The Vermont senator also had advice for the Democratic party following their surprise loss: “The Democrats cannot continue to be run — the Democratic party — by what I call the liberal elite,” he said.
Elsewhere in the episode, Colbert mocked the president-elect’s lengthy “60 Minutes” interview from Sunday, comparing Trump’s relationship to Russia’s Vladimir Putin to the story of the Trojan Horse from Greek mythology.
