CBS’s Stephen Colbert turned The Late Show into The Democratic Strategy Show on Thursday as he welcomed Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly to the program to promote his new children’s book and Kamala Harris 2024.

After a commercial break, Colbert mentioned that Kelly is a retired naval aviator who flew 39 combat missions before asking, “How do you feel or what is your reaction when you see the former president, who avoided the draft through bone spurs, disrespecting in a myriad ways the men and women who have served, sacrificed, and many of whom have died for our country?”
Kelly responded in part:
I mean, we, people go into the military for different reasons, but most of us go there because there is something more important than ourselves. The safety of our fellow citizens, our country, you know, service, patriotism, and I don't think the former president gets that, but I know who does get that, and that's Kamala Harris. I've talked to her about service. I've talked to her about the military. So, we've just got to make sure that Donald Trump should not be commander-in chief again. That is very clear to me.
