WATCH: Stephen Colbert hilariously mocks 'missing in action' Mitch McConnell

On Friday, late-night comedian Stephen Colbert joked about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

As the government shutdown extends into its third week, McConnell has been publicly silent on negotiations.

In the clip, Colbert plays a series of news stories saying that McConnell "is missing in action."

Colbert jokingly answered that question by comparing McConnell to a turtle.

"Often during a government shutdown, the Senate Majority Leader takes a leading role in negotiations," the video states.
