Actor John Leguizamo recently appeared on The Late Show and spoke to host Stephen Colbert about his support for Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who he endorsed late last month.
According to the 55-year-old actor, his decision came after his son, Ryder Lee “Lucas” Leguizamo, turned him on to the Venture for America founder’s platform, which centers around a universal basic income (UBI) of $ 1,000 per month for all Americans.
“I was like ‘Yeah, son! You want that thousand dollars I’ll get it for you. I’m gonna join the Yang Gang,” Leguizamo said in a YouTube clip of the appearance.
Leguizamo also pointed out that Yang is the last person of color in the Democratic primary. When Colbert asked him who was to blame — the Democratic Party or the voters — the actor suggested it was the voters.
