Colbert Showcases All the Times Herschel Walker Didn’t Lie in 1-Second-Long Compilation (Video)

While it was impossible for Stephen Colbert to know for sure that Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker would lose his bid to unseat Democrat Raphael Warnock Tuesday night, he did start the show by appropriately poking fun at the embattled political hopeful.

Colbert opened “The Late Show” by putting together a compilation video of every truthful statement Walker made during the campaign — and it lasted just one second.

Walker’s campaign was defined by constant lying. He lied about his background and job history. He lied about his education. He lied about his ties to law enforcement. And, of course, Walker repeatedly lied about secret children and his views on abortion.

Back to Colbert: The cold open began, as it always does, with a supercut of news programs setting up the premise. It included a moment where Walker, speaking about his opponent Warnock, said, “My integrity is a lot better than his, my honesty is a lot better than his. I’ve been transparent, he has not.” Which is laughable because, as we said, Walker lied constantly.

Then, the Colbert cold open promised “a compilation of Herschel Walker being honest and transparent.”

“I’m not that smart,” Walker said in a brief clip. Then the compilation ended.

“This has been, ‘a compilation of Herschel Walker being honest and transparent,'” the clip concluded.
