Stephen Colbert – Lowest Historic Turnout Since 1942 Gives Republicans a “Mandate” -Video

In typical Colbert fashion, Stephen told his audience that he is “still riding high from the GOP’s triumph in last week’s midterm election.”

For those not familiar with Stephen Colbert, Stephen Colbert is synonymous with sarcasm.

Why is Colbert so happy you might ask? Because with Republicans winning control of two-thirds of the Federal Government, they can finally work harder at making government smaller.

Colbert explains. “This means there will be more Republicans than ever making government smaller by working full-time in Washington. In fact, there is only one way to describe this victory.”

That word is “mandate.”

“Yes, it was absolutely a mandate,” said Colbert, “thanks to an historic turnout of just 37 percent of eligible voters, the lowest since 1942.”
