The media frenzy over Herman Cain’s sexual harassment allegations has stretched into its third day, but Stephen Colbert isn’t giving up on the former pizza magnate.

“It’s a dark, dark day for America,” he said. “And I’m not just saying that because he’s, you know … American.”

Cain is under fire over sexual harassment allegations during his time as head of the National Restaurant Association. Cain’s story has shifted over the past few days as new details have come to light. But Colbert knows who the real harassers are: women.

“They always take comments about their height as something sexual,” Colbert said. “Like, ‘Hey, let’s stand back-to-back to see who’s taller, except I’ll be facing you without any pants on.’ Everybody knows who’s really to blame for this controversy.”
