On Wednesday’s edition of The Late Show, CBS’s Stephen Colbert reacted to the incident in Minneapolis where an ICE agent shot a woman who appeared to drive her car at him by claiming that it was the agent who was wrong and that Second Amendment supporters are being hypocrites.

Much later, Colbert asked MS NOW’s Chris Hayes to describe what happened. After declaring we do not know whether the woman was told to leave or get out of her car, he claimed, “An ICE agent approached the car, she appears on both angles of the video to be first backing up and then trying to, basically, drive her car away from the armed men who are coming to accost her.”
Hayes did manage to mention that there was an agent in front of the car but tried to downplay its significance, "One of the ICE agents has positioned himself right at the front right corner of the car. He proceeds to fire four shots, three or four shots from extremely close range into the driver's side of the car. The first shot from head on, and the next three with him in a 90-degree angle, you can see it in the freeze frame. The gun is like this and the open window is like this, so he is out of the way of the car."
