One of the bigger topics of the week that Stephen Colbert decided to talk about in his “Late Show” monologue Wednesday night was Donald Trump’s continually wishy-washy stance on Russia — from the brief hardline position he took before ordering the military to bomb Syria last week to his refusal to impose sanctions this week.
Specifically, Colbert wanted to talk about UN ambassador Nikki Haley, a Trump appointee who has been in a bit of a public scuffle with Trump over Russia of late, most recently when she went on “Face the Nation” on Sunday to declare that sanctions were definitely incoming and the announcement would be made soon.
