Stephen Colbert slams CNN and MSNBC hosts for panning Robert Mueller's style over substance

The Late Show host joked Thursday night that Mueller's performance received a 35% score on Rotten Tomatoes thanks to cable news hosts like Jake Tapper and Rachel Maddow, who called him less than "sharp" while saying he “persistently seemed old.” “And if we learned one thing from watching movies like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, it’s that we should always ignore the dire warnings of the old guy,” Colbert joked. He added: "This is a critical moment in our democracy. So of course our faithful journalists are focused on what really matters. And that’s ratings, baby!”
