Colbert Breaks Silence on Staffers’ Arrests at Capitol Building

David Rufful


. . ."Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued that “producers from Stephen Colbert’s show on CBS committed insurrection at the United States Capitol.”

"Colbert attempted to downplay the arrests. He claimed the illegal act was “very professional.”

"He even argued that they did not commit an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol because “an insurrection involves disrupting the lawful actions of Congress and howling for the blood of elected leaders – all to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.”

"The left-wing CBS host proceeded to blame President Donald Trump for the events of January 6th at the U.S. Capitol.

"Colbert even whined that his staff was not in the main Capitol building.

“ 'After they’d finished their interviews, [my staffers] were doing some last-minute puppetry and jokey make-em-ups in a hallway, when Triumph and my folks were approached and detained by Capitol Police,” Colbert said.

"He continued, “A lot of paperwork for the Capitol police but a fairly simple story… until the next night when a couple of the TV people started claiming that my puppet squad had quote, ‘committed insurrection’ at the U.S. Capitol building.' ”. . .
