Stephen Colbert Went To The DNC As Caesar Flickerman, Because That’s His Thing Now
The Democrats were not as easily fooled as the Republicans.
The Democratic National Convention has already caused people to cry with joy and also, to cry with despair, however their security does seem to be a lot tighter than that of the Republican National Convention. Last week, Stephen Colbert somehow managed to spend quite a lengthy amount of time on the RNC podium where he addressed the crowd in character as Caeser Flickerman from The Hunger Games.
It really was a fantastic sight.

Today at the Democratic Convention he tried to pull the same trick — except the Democrats weren’t having a bloody bar of him, and kept politely herding him away from the stage. Therefore Colbert just started wandering around the stadium on his own. “This is the concession stand, so you’ll never find Bernie Sanders here,” he said. “Haha, word play!”
Yes, very good.
Democracy!
