Congressman John Lewis rode a different wave of support Wednesday on “The Late Show.”
The civil rights icon crowd-surfed the Ed Sullivan Theater with host Stephen Colbert cheering on.

The show didn't pass without some serious chat as well. In discussing Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the national anthem, Lewis said: “The young man is acting according to the dictates of his conscience and we should support him.”
