Stephen Colbert Reveals The 'Beautiful' Impeachment Moment That'll 'Enrage' Trump

Late Show host Stephen Colbert praised National Security Council official Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman for his powerful testimony during Tuesdays impeachment hearings investigating President Donald Trump .

Vindman spoke of how his father emigrated from the Soviet Union to the United States 40 years ago in search of a better life for our family .

He also sent a message to his father during his testimony, saying hed made the right choice to come to America.

Do not worry. I will be fine for telling the truth, Vindman said.

Colbert called the moment beautiful as his studio audience cheered for the combat veteran.

But you know, its really going to enrage Trump, Colbert added. Because it features his two least favourite things: immigrants and fathers who love their sons.
