“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert got serious for a few moments on Wednesday night as he praised Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) for voting to convict President Donald Trump in the impeachment trial. But he also had a warning for the Republicans who voted to acquit Trump ― about the meaning of an oath and its effect on the soul. “Hearing Mitt Romney take his oath to God seriously was like finding water in the desert,” Colbert said. Yet Romney finally did, repeatedly citing the oath he took when he explained his vote to convict. “I take an oath before God as enormously consequential.”Colbert, himself deeply religious, agreed and explained the importance of such an oath.
