Joe Rogan rips Colbert for stoking 'mass psychosis' with vaccine song ... Shields then mentioned a June 2021 skit on Colbert’s “Late Show” featuring “The Vax-Scene,” a dance troupe dressed as vaccine syringes. "The vax thing, you’re like oh my God this is so hard to watch!” Shields said.
"In superhero lore, the good guys wear masks to protect their families from the reprisals of vengeful, lawless evildoers. And, in the real world, ICE and Border Patrol agents wear masks for the exact same reason.
"Because the sad truth is, there’s an unknown number of extremists who’ll commit murder for ideological gain: they walk amongst us every day.
"And that’s dangerous, because the venomous vitriol against ICE and Border Patrol agents is unparalleled in modern history. Network comedians are literally cracking jokes where the punchline is that ICE agents are even worse than Nazis:
"Remember the quaint, lowkey era of 2024, when Donald Trump was “literally Hitler”? We used to hear it all the time. Ah, those were the days.
We’ve now reached the point where the Trump administration is WORSE than Hitler!
"Which, of course, is a fair and reasonable comparison: Adolf Hitler killed 11 million people in the Holocaust and plunged the world into the bloodiest, deadliest war in history, and Donald Trump’s border control agents arrested sex offenders in Minneapolis.
"Just like looking in a mirror, isn’t it?
"Given this hyper-polarized backdrop, you could understand why ICE and Border Patrol agents would prefer to keep their identities — and their families' last names — out of the public domain.
"But we also know that our legal system demands certain disclosures in court documents, and eventually, a media outlet would reveal their names to the entire world. It was just a question of when.
"It happened today, Feb. 1, at 4:10 p.m. on ProPublica — which advertises itself as “Investigative Journalism in the Public Interest.” . .
"Shortly thereafter, their names were splashed all over the Internet." . . .
When did Stephen Colbert's satire veer into ridicule, rage? | Opinion
Soon after Stephen Colbert landed "The Late Show" he welcomed tycoon Donald Trump as a guest and did something shocking — he apologized.
" 'I said a few things about you over the years that, that are, you know, in polite company, perhaps, are unforgivable," Colbert said in 2015." . . .
