In December 2022, CBS’s Stephen Colbert proclaimed the reason why conservatives were all upset over Twitter censoring the New York Post story on Hunter Biden’s laptop was because they wanted to see “Hunter Biden's penis pictures.” Fast forward a year to the Wednesday edition of The Late Show and Colbert was at it again, claiming the only dirt Republicans have on President Joe Biden as they launch their impeachment inquiry is “his son’s penis pics.”
After playing a clip of GOP Rep. Pat Fallon on Fox, Colbert declared, “This started with you not liking Joe Biden and spending a year not finding a crime he committed. It's just like an episode of Law & Order.”
Of course, as Colbert’s CBS colleagues informed us not that long ago, you don’t need to come committed an actual crime to be impeached, but Colbert continued with a Law & Order parody that included the narrator declaring, “In the criminal justice system, sometimes you really want to have done something bad even if they probably didn't so you spend many months and millions of taxpayer dollars on an investigation, but the best you come up with is his son's penis pics."
That’s not the best Republicans have come up with, but later in his monologue Colbert addressed Hunter not showing up for a closed door testimony with the House Oversight Committee, "Now, here's the thing, Hunter Biden said that he's more than willing to answer questions from Congress in an open session so everybody gets to hear the answers, but if they did that, there’d be no way for the Republicans to go on Fox News later and lie about what Hunter said. So, they said no to cameras inside the hearing and today, Hunter said, okay, I'll just to all those cameras outside and you know, the old man's not the only one with the Gift of Gab."
Liberal comedian minds think alike as Jimmy Kimmel has essentially the same thing a few weeks back. Still, Colbert then played a clip of Hunter declaring that “For six years, MAGA Republicans, including members of the House committees who are in a closed door session right now have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my family, and my friends, They've ridiculed my struggle with addiction. They've belittled my recovery and they’ve tried to dehumanize me all to embarrass and damage my father.”
To which Colbert added in another jokes that was not told four years ago, “Come on, that's not fair, Hunter. They also did it to fundraise.”
Here is a transcript for the December 13 show:

STEPHEN COLBERT: This started with you not liking Joe Biden and spending a year not finding a crime he committed. It's just like an episode of Law & Order.
LAW & ORDER PARODY NARRATOR: In the criminal justice system, sometimes you really want to have done something bad even if they probably didn't so you spend many months and millions of taxpayer dollars on an investigation, but the best you come up with is his son's penis pics.

COLBERT: Now, here's the thing, Hunter Biden said that he's more than willing to answer questions from Congress in an open session so everybody gets to hear the answers, but if they did that, there’d be no way for the Republicans to go on Fox News later and lie about what Hunter said. So, they said no to cameras inside the hearing and today, Hunter said, okay, I'll just to all those cameras outside and you know, the old man's not the only one with the Gift of Gab.
HUNTER BIDEN: For six years, MAGA Republicans, including members of the House committees who are in a closed door session right now have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my family, and my friends, They've ridiculed my struggle with addiction. They've belittled my recovery and they’ve tried to dehumanize me all to embarrass and damage my father.
COLBERT: Come on, that's not fair, Hunter. They also did it to fundraise. Now, ultimately, no, I'm angry, this is me angry. Someone's got to be--.
