House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared on The Late Show and discussed the toxic political climate our country is facing.

Stephen Colbert began by pointing out that Pelosi was wearing purple, asking her if that was a “message” she was trying to send out.

“It could be,” Pelosi responded. “It’s about unifying the country. I think it is time to heal.”

Pelosi was then asked if she has seen “evidence” that the “temperature” in the country has lowered.

“Well, I think when we win, you will see evidence of that. Because when we do win, we will have, as we open the new Congress- we will honor the vows of our founders: ‘E pluribus unum’, ‘From many one,'” Pelosi told the audience. “Well you couldn’t imagine how many we would be or how different we would be from each other, but they did know that we had to strive for oneness. It’s okay to disagree, a marketplace of ideas, that’s exciting. But it is also important to find solutions that unify and not divide. And that’s what makes a big difference between Democrats and what’s in the White House now.”

She dismissed President ‘s call to end birthright citizenship with executive order since it has “no relationship to what his authority is.”
