Colbert Pokes Fun at Nancy Pelosi's 'Street Fighter' Quip by Adding Her to 'Street Fighter II'...

Stephen Colbert was pretty amused Wednesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent tongue-in-cheek tough talk regarding the deadly Jan. 6 riot, and he had a little fun at her expense by reimaging her as a playable character in one of the greatest video games of all time.

So this week in an interview with USA Today, Pelosi was asked if she was scared during the riot, a seditious uprising incited by Donald Trump in an attempt to overthrow the government and remain in power. “Well, I’m pretty tough. I’m a street fighter,” Pelos said, somewhat jokingly. “They would have had a battle on their hands.”

“It’s true,” Colbert said on the latest episode of “The Late Show.” “Nancy’s always my go-to character in ‘Street Fighter.'”
