Nancy Pelosi to CBS’s Corden: GOP Worse Than ‘Darth Vader’

Democratic congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (CA) appeared on CBS’s The Late Late Show early Wednesday morning, where host James Corden took Pelosi to a British pub for his “Pub Politics” segment to drink beer and discuss politics. Corden encouraged the Democratic leader to share insider details about the Mueller-Russia investigation and what it was like working with Republicans.

At one point, Corden tried to get Pelosi to “say something nice” about various Republicans, but was seemingly only using the opportunity to mock the GOP himself.

Corden, who is British, joked around with Pelosi about British food before diving straight into politics. He egged Pelosi on about the Russia investigation, urging her to spill the juicy details she must have about Trump being investigated by the FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Pelosi laughed and smiled, then appeared to blink as she started to say, “I cannot confirm or deny” again. Corden grinned widely and pointed at Pelosi as if he caught her blinking to confirm she knew something that the media hadn’t already reported.

Corden went on to question Pelosi, framing every question as a sky-is-falling scenario.

After playing darts, Corden ended the friendly interview by asking Pelosi to play a “game” with him, where he held up a picture of a member of the Republican party, and she had to say one nice thing about each person.

That was how most of the remaining interview went, with Pelosi struggling to come up with anything nice to say and Corden cracking up with laughter, because, as we all know, Republicans are so terrible that it’s hard to come up with even one redeemable trait.

Pelosi had the worst time, of course, with President Trump.

Corden ended the game by saying he had “one final member of the Republican party” for Pelosi. He then held up a photo of the villain Darth Vader from Star Wars.

Pelosi chuckled and immediately quipped, “Even the party has gone beyond Darth Vader.”

As if to one up her, Corden replied back: “Darth Vader? I thought it was Dick Cheney!” as she laughed and he wrapped up the interview, thanking her for coming on the show.

Corden appears to be trying to better his ratings by joining the other late-night hosts on the Trump-bashing bandwagon. In the last few months he’s attacked Republicans, sang anti-Trump songs, and commiserated with his Democrat guests over the Trump presidency.
