were found trespassing in an office building in the U.S. Capitol complex after hours.
First, Carlson half-jokingly claimed that “producers for Stephen Colbert’s show on CBS committed insurrection at the United States Capitol” — despite no evidence that the crew was in the Longworth House Office Building for anything other than a taped comedy bit. He then claimed, without support, that “the point of them being there was to harass sitting members of Congress — Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert.”Later, the host suggested that “It’s likely that some members of Stephen Colbert’s team will be held in solitary confinement for a year and a half without being charged.
Why? Because this is an insurrection.”According to a statement from CBS, a camera crew with comedian Robert Smigel and his Triumph the Insult Comic Dog character shot segments for an upcoming Colbert comedy segment on Wednesday and Thursday that “were authorized and pre-arranged through Congressional aides of the members interviewed. After leaving the members’ offices on their last interview of the day, the production team stayed to film stand-ups and other final comedy elements in the halls when they were detained by Capitol Police.”Capitol Police said that the crew had been told to leave the office building earlier in the day — and that seven people were charged with unlawful entry; an investigation is now underway that could lead to additional criminal charges.Naturally, Carlson tried to use the episode to try to score political points by comparing the CBS production crew with the hundreds of Trump supporters who illegally broke into the U.S.

yet another horrific mass shooting, Fox News primetime stars were back at it — “it” being desperately fumbling for any excuse, however absurd or intelligence-insulting, for the horrors other than guns and the ease with which people can acquire them.Tucker Carlson, for example, had a rather novel explanation for the latest mass shooting: Feminism, cannabis, and medication to treat depression. Asserting that young American men “inhabit” a life filled with “social media, porn, and video games,” and “government endorsed weed,” Carlson alleged that “crackpots posing as ‘counselors'” are forcing American children to take “psychotropic drugs.” Which, uh, ok.“The authorities in their lives, mostly women, never stop lecturing them about their so-called privilege.
Elmo had a few things to say about that Ted Cruz coronavirus vaccine tweet in a hilarious “Late Show” skit.
“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert always has a lot of politics in his opening monologues, but on Wednesday night, he took aim at a (fictional) body that governs fast food.“America is changing so fast. Every day seems to bring shocking news that radically unsettles what we believe this country should be. And it’s happened again, because Taco Bell’s latest tostada features a giant Cheez-It,” Colbert said as he opened his show.His comments were met with laughs from the audience as he mimed what it might be like to eat one of Taco Bell’s newest culinary creations (which translated to: this looks good; yum, yum, yum; followed by breaking wind).The late night funnyman produced a picture of the new menu item, which looks like the inside of a taco atop the biggest Cheez-It known to humankind.“Behold! The snack of madness.

Clark appeared before the Jan 6. committee and pleaded the Fifth Amendment 100 times during a two-hour deposition. On Thursday, details emerged in the committee’s hearings about a proposal spearheaded by Trump and Clark that suggested the DOJ send letters to state legislatures demanding they reseat electors, citing nonexistent voter fraud.The idea was ultimately unsuccessful.
The show is currently in production for its 10th season. Emanuel has been a part of the series since its 2013 premiere.
Tucker Carlson has spent the last year and a half minimizing and misrepresenting the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and he also doesn’t like Stephen Colbert at all. Those things combined on Monday’s episode of Fox News show when he offered up some criticisms of Stephen Colbert’s brand of comedy — which he asserted is vastly inferior to the comedy stylings of the people who trashed the Capitol building on Jan.
A production group from “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” who were arrested and charged with unlawful entry Thursday night at the U.S. Capitol are due in court on July 20 at the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, the U.S. Attorney said Tuesday.The incident allegedly occurred when crew members were filming a segment for which Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, voiced by comedian Robert Smigel, interviewed members of Congress about the ongoing Jan.

not to broadcast the Jan. 6 House committee hearings in full – complaining about the nature of proceedings going on in the background while wrangling a robust lineup of familiar guests to join the grousing about them.It was certainly a juggling act, and Carlson and his guests pulled off their first night of the much-criticized strategy without a hiccup.In a surprise, Fox News Channel presented “Tucker Carlson Tonight” without ads for the entire hour, and made a promise to “break in” to the hearings when “warranted” – but never took the chance to do so live.
except for Fox News. Instead, Fox is going to keep their primetime lineup of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham intact and break away to cover the hearings “as news warrants.”“They’re going to be spending all night talking about the real culprit,” Noah said as a photo of Carlson popped up on the screen beside him. In a mocking voice, Noah continued: “Why is nobody talking about how Congress has too many doors? If there was only one door in and out, this never would have happened.
