"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert took politicians to task for their lack of action on guns Tuesday, and instead praised the student activists of Parkland, Florida, saying that they gave him hope. Colbert called out Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio in particular, whom Colbert said "completely abdicated responsibility" by diminishing the importance of gun laws.
Colbert said, "There is one group that does give me hope that we can do something to protect the children, and sadly, it's the children -- the students from Parkland, Florida. These students saw their leaders doing nothing and said 'Hold my root beer,'" before playing clips of Parkland teenagers speaking out against politicians.
