Kit Harington jokes that Game of Thrones may have led to Trump's rise

The Daily Beast

Stephen Colbert steered Harington to talk Trump during the actor's Late Show appearance on Tuesday. “This show was a big cultural definer for the 2010s,” Colbert said. “So we can blame you for where we are right now.” Harington admitted that Game of Thrones “kind of screwed the political landscape.” Colbert asked in response: "By making the Lannisters an acceptable form of ruling family?” Harington replied: “No, I just felt that certain, you know, political figures tried to emulate Joffrey and things went a bit wrong."
