The men of late night comedy struggled on their Monday shows to reconcile their support for President Joe Biden and his decision to pardon his son, Hunter.

Colbert left it there, but over at ABC, Jimmy Kimmel declared, “In other words, the Biden presidency has now entered the ‘Grandpa doesn't give a damn about what you think’ phase.
