Senator Elizabeth Warren stopped by The Late Show to discuss the state of politics in American and took the opportunity to talk about the importance of gun control and Donald Trump ‘s recent vice presidential pick J.D. Vance.
Warren told host Stephen Colbert . She said believes the Republican Party should embrace gun safety legislation and an assault weapons ban following the attempted assassination on Trump earlier this week. “This should be the moment for it,” Warren said of the need for gun control, including a ban on AR-15-style weapons.
“They’re talking about how they want to have unity and everyone is deeply concerned, and rightly so, about the attack on the president. This is the moment when: let’s show what unity really means. And that is Republicans and Democrats, I’ll issue the open invitation, let’s come together and let’s ban assault weapons in this country now.
” She added, “This is for Donald Trump. This is for our children. This is for children in schools.
This is for people at movie theaters.” Elsewhere in the interview Warren talked about President Joe Biden’s record over the past four years in office, including his efforts on student loan debt cancelation and capping the price of insulin. She added that what makes a democracy work is “not violence.
” “In a democracy we have different ideas,” she said. “We disagree. We may disagree sharply.
We bring those ideas together. We may go back and forth about it, but we resolve it on.
