Watch: Colbert Wants You to Know About Pence's Anti-LGBT Voting Record
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
There wasn't much talk about LGBT rights during the vice-presidential debate Tuesday night. As The New York Times noted, it was an opportunity for Hillary Clinton running mate Sen. Tim Kaine to call out Donald Trump's VP pick Gov. Mike Pence over his terrible voting record on LGBT issues.
That moment came and went and Kaine, for whatever reason, didn't grill Pence on his feelings on LGBT rights. But "Late Night Show" host Stephen Colbert picked up Kaine's slack and blasted Pence during his opening monologue Tuesday night.
"As governor, Pence's record was marked by his 'religious freedom' bill that allows businesses to refuse service to gay customers on religious grounds, because, as Jesus himself said, 'Get out of my pizza parlor, you queers,'" Colbert said.
