Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., joined late night<\/a> host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday and said that Americans weren’t sending their “best and brightest” to Capitol Hill, arguing that it is “scary.”<\/p>\n

“Is it awkward to be in the Capitol and then run into people that you have put up a devastating meme about because you\u2019ve got excellent meme game. But then you have to see these people in the cafeteria,” Colbert said on “The Late Show.”<\/p>\n

“You all need to know that America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington, D.C.,” Fetterman responded, to laughter from the audience. “Sometimes you literally just can\u2019t believe. These people are making the decisions that are determining the government here. It\u2019s actually scary.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said it was “dangerous” and referenced the recent near-government shutdown. Fetterman argued that there were plenty of “less gifted” people that would have let the government shut down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colbert and Fetterman spent much of the interview discussing Fetterman’s recovery from a stroke and his mental health issues; he was hospitalized while suffering from depression this year and continues to have auditory processing problems that have made communication difficult<\/a>. He used a tablet to transcribe Colbert’s questions durin the interview.<\/p>\n

They also discussed the Senate dress code, during which Colbert gifted the senator a tuxedo t-shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Democratic senator made fun of critics of the dress code decision<\/a> and said, “oh my God, the world is going to burn because he\u2019s going to wear a hoodie on the floor.”<\/p>\n

“Ukraine or shutting down the government, all these issues. I think it\u2019s much more important to see is, what will this man where on the floor of the Senate?” he continued.<\/p>\n

Fetterman also expressed support for Israel following the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas and criticized the House for not having a Speaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As a senator, I am always going to stand on the side of Israel and I\u2019m going to make sure that whatever is needed, military, intelligence or humanitarian, to vote for that and support that as well too. Right now they can\u2019t do anything because we don\u2019t have a speaker. This is what I\u2019m talking about,” he said.<\/p>\n

Colbert asked if Fetterman saw President Biden’s speech.<\/p>\n

“I know the president is committed to making sure that we deliver for Israel. But also Ukraine as well too. We have a pivotal kind of position to be in that we have to stand with both of these kinds of campaigns to stand for those kinds of people that are fighting against these kinds of awful kinds of enemies,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the end of the discussion, Fetterman presented Colbert with a black Carhartt hoodie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
