VIDEO: Colbert Report Profiles MN 5th Congressional District
U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison suffered gamely through an interview by host Stephen Colbert.
Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District was the subject of a "Better Know A District" segment on Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" Thursday.
Host Stephen Colbert highlighted New Hope, the Hennepin Avenue Bridge and Prince in his intro, then "sat down ... in a room" with U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison (DFL-MN) for a wide-ranging, even scattershot interview that managed to touch on both Mohammed and Mary Tyler Moore.
The "Fighting Fifth" is the second Minnesota district to be profiled on the "Colbert Report" and the 67th overall.
