Oh suddenly unauthorized entry into Capitol is a joke

Stop trying to make a joke about this planned Watergate style assault on the Capitol, trying to find republican Senators documents , you should be ashamed of yourself and your cohort who let them in where they shouldn’t have been you’re all guilty mr Colbert

It was an insurrection! Democracy was threatened! There needs to be a committee created to investigate! Isn’t this what liberals would say and do?

I do not know one person that watches that show I don’t even know how he even makes it on here he spews nothing but lies!

Why are they not in prison like the January 6th political prisoners

If a conservative does unauthorized entrance it’s an insurrection if a progressive does an unauthorized entrance it’s an honest mistake Hilarious Colbert This is your funniest bit ever my dolphins 🐬 can’t stop laughing

Our democracy was almost lost 6/16. This is a very serious subject, putting very important people in danger. You cannot attempt to interfere with congress and enter their sacred building without severe consequences . He won’t laugh when conspiracy charges catch up to him.
