Stephen Colbert urges folks to not move because of election

After cracking jokes about the new president-elect Donald Trump and suggesting Elizabeth Warren grieve with a neck tattoo, Stephen Colbert offered a message of unity during his monologue Wednesday night.

Colbert urged viewers who want to move up north to Canada ("the language of France with the culture of Minnesota," as he described it) to reconsider—and not just because the Canadian immigration site crashed.

"You don't get to flee to another country when things get rough here," Colbert said. "Being an American citizen is like family. You're in it whether you like it or not."

Oh, and if you're feeling anything but elated about the election results, Colbert dishes the perfect advice on how to overcome.
