Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., joined late night host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday and said that Americans weren’t sending their “best and brightest” to Capitol Hill, arguing that it is “scary.”
“Is it awkward to be in the Capitol and then run into people that you have put up a devastating meme about because you’ve got excellent meme game. But then you have to see these people in the cafeteria,” Colbert said on “The Late Show.”
“You all need to know that America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington, D.C.,” Fetterman responded, to laughter from the audience. “Sometimes you literally just can’t believe. These people are making the decisions that are determining the government here. It’s actually scary.”
He said it was “dangerous” and referenced the recent near-government shutdown. Fetterman argued that there were plenty of “less gifted” people that would have let the government shut down.
