Bhan-đ„ âHe Made America Laugh for Decades â But Tonight, He Made Them Cry.âStephen Colbert drops the jokes, drops the truth, and calls out Pam Bondi by name.âRead the book, Bondi.â

New York, NY â Late-night television took a rare, somber turn this week when Stephen Colbert, known for decades as Americaâs quick-witted comic conscience, broke from his trademark humor to deliver one of the most emotional monologues of his career.

After reading the late Virginia Giuffreâs haunting memoir, detailing her years of abuse, trauma, and survival, Colbert appeared visibly shaken. But what came next wasnât just commentary â it was a reckoning.
âYou canât unsee the truth once youâve read it,â Colbert said, his voice cracking mid-sentence. âAnd if you can read that book⊠and still defend the people who silenced her â that says something about you.â
Moments later, Colbert turned his outrage squarely toward Pam Bondi, the former Florida Attorney General, accusing her of âprotecting power instead of pursuing justice.â His words â raw, unfiltered, and filled with conviction â instantly lit up social media with the rallying cry: â#ReadTheBookBondi.â
The audience sat in stunned silence as Colbert demanded accountability â not just from Bondi, but from every public figure who, in his words, âlooked away when it mattered most.â
âGiuffre wrote more than a memoir,â Colbert continued. âShe left behind a mirror â and now, the question is whoâs brave enough to look into it.â
Within hours, clips of the segment went viral. Celebrities, journalists, and survivors alike flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with messages of solidarity, many echoing Colbertâs now-iconic line. The hashtag #ReadTheBookBondi trended worldwide by midnight.
Pam Bondi has yet to respond publicly, but her name is once again at the center of a firestorm â one not fueled by politics this time, but by a nationâs growing demand for moral clarity.
Colbertâs segment wasnât comedy. It was confrontation â a late-night stage turned courtroom, a comedian transformed into a conscience.
And as one viewer put it best:
âFor once, Stephen Colbert didnât make us laugh. He made us listen.â
đ„ âRead the book, Bondi.â Four words that just changed the conversation.
