Stephen Colbert has shifted his political satire to new territory, targeting Vice President JD Vance with an AI-generated video after the late-night host accused Donald Trump of pushing offensive memes.
Colbert, whose Late Show was canceled by CBS earlier this year, opened his segment by highlighting a clip of Vance defending Trump’s online behavior.
Vance had dismissed concerns about the President’s use of doctored images, which included showing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and mustache.

“I make this solemn promise to you that if you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop,” Vance said.
He characterized Trump’s social media activity as “joking” and “having a good time.”
Colbert responded with his own digital parody.
In a segment he described as “something that isn’t real to help end the shutdown,” he aired an AI-generated clip of Vance in a sombrero engaging in an explicit act with a couch.
“Come on, it’s a joke. You’re having a good time,” Colbert said with a straight face after showing the video.
He added, “And I’ll tell you what, here’s the deal. If you resign as VP, I won’t keep showing that every chance I get. And I definitely won’t put it on all of our socials so people can share it and maybe roll on a loop during their holiday parties this year.”
