Audience Applauds as Colbert Says Fox News’ Peter Doocy Should Be Slapped

As previously stated in the TW, I have long considered Colbert a weasel. May I assume he and the ladies of "The View" have an applause sign for the audience? TD

Breitbart  "Liberal pundit Stephen Colbert, who also hosts a comedy show, joked on Tuesday night that Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy should be slapped the way actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars.

WATCH: Colbert Suggests Fox Reporter Get Slapped For Asking Biden About Chemical Weapons | The Daily Wire  . . ."On Tuesday night, apparently referencing Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars Sunday night, late night host Stephen Colbert, in his usual snide fashion, mocked Fox News reporter Peter Doocy and suggested he be slapped for simply asking President Biden what he meant when he said that the U.S. would respond “in kind” to any use of chemical weapons by Russia in Ukraine.

Colbert started by mocking Doocy as resembling a high school kid “who wears a suit to gym class,” as he sniped, “Yesterday, President Biden held a press conference. And he was asked a ridiculous question by a ridiculous man, Fox News reporter and that one kid in high school who wears a suit to gym class, Peter Doocy.”

He instructed that the video be played in what he believed was a suave manner: “Jimmy, drop the deuce. “

The video ahowed Doocy asking, “You said that chemical weapon use by Russia would trigger a response in kind.”. . .

Colbert: Biden Should Slap Peter Doocy Like Will Smith Slapped Chris Rock   "CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert (D-N.Y.) certainly knows his audience. On Tuesday's show, he mocked Fox's Peter Doocy for asking President Biden a question, and suggested that he would like Biden to slap Doocy in the face, like Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. The crowd loved it. No one expects Jim Acosta to suggest that will lead to violence and even death of reporters."  

"As our Briefing Expert Curtis Houck noted, Doocy was one of many White House reporters to ask Biden about his walked-back remarks about Putin being removed from power and other gaffes. Doocy here was obviously suggesting to Biden that telling Putin he would respond "in kind" to a chemical attack sounds like he would respond with a chemical counter-attack.

Colbert mocked Doocy as wanting all of our national-security secrets: "Uh, Peter Doocy, Fox News. I've got two more questions. First, what are the exact locations of all of America's troops? And can you give me the nuclear launch codes? Just tell me, is one of them a four?". . . 

. . ."Colbert makes his show for Democrats, so naturally back in 2018, Colbert welcomed CNN yeller Jim Acosta on his show to honor him for being a brave member of the "enemies of the people.' ". . .
