CBSs Stephen Colbert welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Mondays edition of The Late Show for a three-segment appearance where the duo would hurl outrageous accusations at Israel while accusing Republicans of being Russian propagandists. They would also do some electioneering as they urged President Biden to bring the Democratic Party together by appeasing those voting uncommitted in the primaries.Colbert began by asking about Ocasio-Cortezs use of the word genocide to describe Israels actions‚ The horrors of the attack of October 7th and the horror people see of the innocent lives lost in the military response. Tens of thousands of lives being lost there. But you took it a further step. I think you think you were the first person to do this in the Congress. You said‚ you called the famine in Gaza an unfolding genocide. That is an electric term to be using against the actions of a country that was formed in the wake of the greatest genocide of the 20th century. If politics is the art of the possible‚ you';re a politician. What did you hope to make possible by going that far in your description?It wasnt Colberts worst question‚ but a better one would have pointed out that misery caused by a war that you started is not genocide. As for Ocasio-Cortez‚ she predictably confused misery with genocide‚ And to me‚ what I saw in that moment is that we have been in-- on the precipice of a mass famine that would indiscriminately kill nearly a million children‚ adults‚ innocent people‚ men‚ women‚ and children. And this is an utterly heartbreaking moment.She also accused Israel‚ not Hamas‚ of endangering the hostages and genocide while defending her inaccurate use of the word‚ As you mentioned‚ the attacks on October 7th or horrifying. The hostages that are being held in Gaza are also being endangered and imperiled by an indiscriminate famine and bombardment campaign as well and it';s important that they be home. But I think in using this term‚ it is not to engage in a game of rhetoric‚ but it is for us to see what is happening for what it is.Later‚ in the second segment‚ the duo was discussing those voting uncommitted in the Democratic Primary when Ocasio-Cortez declared‚ And so right now‚ these are folks who want to be seen. I think they';re using this process to be seen and it';s best that we do that now then for folks to stay home in November.Colbert then urged Biden to unite the party by listening to the protestors So‚ respond tothis now is what you recommendthe Biden Administration to doso people can trust his judgmentin the future.Before we move on to the nextsubject‚ will you be voting forJoe Biden?Ocasio-Cortez affirmed she will be.Despite the earlier Hamas propaganda‚ when Colbert and Ocasio-Cortez returned for the third segment‚ the pair discussed the GOPs relationship with Russia. Ocasio-Cortez brought up the case of Alexander Smirnov‚ We just went through animpeachment attempt on thepresident of the United Statesthat was started with a sourcethat Republicans used that wasin communication with Russianintelligence.So‚ you have not just the bottombench here.You have the chairman of theHouse Oversight Committee‚Representative Comer‚ takequote-unquote evidence‚ anaccount from someone who wasworking with the-- Russianintelligence and try to impeachand remove the president of theUnited States over it.This is serious.Colbert replied‚ How did they not know that -- or did they know that this was connected to the Russians? Or did they not figure out because they have been translated from the Cyrillic?Thats not the dunk Colbert thinks it is when the person he enjoying it with previously said that Israel is the one endangering the hostages.Here is a transcript for the April 8 show:CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert4/8/202412:06 AM ETSTEPHEN COLBERT: And we';re coming up on‚ we';re justpast six months of the warbetween Israel and Gaza and the unfolding crisis over there and thisthe the heartbreak and the horror ofasymmetrical war.The horrors of the attackof October 7th and the horrorpeople see of the innocent liveslost in the military response.Tens of thousands of lives beinglost there.But you took it a further step.I think you think you were thefirst person to do this in theCongress.You said‚ you called the faminein Gaza an unfolding genocide.That is an electric term to beusing against the actions of acountry that was formed in thewake of the greatest genocide ofthe 20th century.If politics is the art of thepossible‚ you';re a politician.What did you hope to makepossible by going that far inyour description?OCASIO-CORTEZ: Iappreciate the extent of thatquestion and while I was not the first inCongress to use that term‚ itcertainly was a dedicated speechtowards it before the beginning‚rather the end of that session.And to me‚ what I saw in thatmoment is that we have been in-- onthe precipice of a mass faminethat would indiscriminately killnearly a million children‚adults‚ innocent people‚ men‚women‚ and children.And this is an utterlyheartbreaking moment.As you mentioned‚ the attacks onOctober 7th or horrifying.The hostages that are being heldin Gaza are also beingendangered and imperiled by anindiscriminate famine andbombardment campaign as well and it';s important that they behome.But I think in using this term‚it is not to engage in a game ofrhetoric‚ but it is for us to see what ishappening for what it is.OCASIO-CORTEZ: And so right now these are folkswho want to be seen.I think they';re using thisprocess to be seen and it';s bestthat we do that now then forfolks to stay home in November.COLBERT: So‚ respond tothis now is what you recommendthe Biden AdministrationOCASIO-CORTEZ: Yeah.COLBERT: -- to doso people can trust his judgmentin the future.Before we move on to the nextsubject‚ will you be voting forJoe Biden?OCASIO-CORTEZ: I willbe voting for President Biden inNovember.OCASIO-CORTEZ: Let';s just rewind a second.We just went through animpeachment attempt on thepresident of the United Statesthat was started with a sourcethat Republicans used that wasin communication with Russianintelligence.So‚ you have not just the bottombench here.You have the chairman of theHouse Oversight Committee‚Representative Comer‚ takequote-unquote evidence‚ anaccount from someone who wasworking with the-- Russianintelligence and try to impeachand remove the president of theUnited States over it.This is serious.COLBERT: How did they notknow that --or did they know that this wasconnected to the Russians?Or did they not figureoutbecause they have beentranslated from the Cyrillic?OCASIO-CORTEZ: That Ithink is a very excellentquestion for Chairman Comer.
