The GOP candidate for vice president, Colbert said, has been victimized since being accused of faking a photo op at the kitchen, so he had a message for people quick to judge him: “Save the candidates.”
“This is Paul,” Colbert said, as a photo of Ryan appeared next to him. “Some day he wants to be vice president of the United States. But he needs your help.

A disabled vet to wave at. Even a homeless man to pet. Won’t you call now and help this young man live up to his dreams of cutting all your government funding?”
