On Thursday night several CBS employees who work for Colbert’s late-night show were arrested in the US Capitol, trespassing after hours, and HARASSING GOP lawmakers.



The US Capitol was closed at the time.



Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) let the insurrectionists in the building.



The group of leftist insurrectionists reportedly banged on doors of several Republican offices – including that of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, Jim Jordan of Ohio and Lauren Boebert of Colorado.


Shouldn’t these dangerous radicals be sitting in prison at this point? Or does it only work this way for Trump-supporters?



Tucker Carlson reported on this latest US Capitol break-in.

Late Thursday, the individuals, including “Triumph, the Insult Dog” puppeteer Robert Smigel – a frequent guest of Colbert’s — were not credentialed to be walking around without an escort, a House Republican source told Fox News. Others arrested included Colbert writer Josh Comers and associate producer Allison Martinez.



The group was cleared into the complex by staffers for Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., and House January 6 Committee Member Adam Schiff, D-Calif.



The group reportedly banged on doors of several Republican offices – including that of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, Jim Jordan of Ohio and Lauren Boebert of Colorado — as they allegedly filmed a skit for Colbert’s “Late Show” program that was to center around the January 6 hearings.



Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill, the ranking member on the House Committee on Administration – which has jurisdiction over the Capitol Police and House chamber operations – told “Jesse Watters Primetime” Friday he will demand answers when Congress returns to session next week.



Davis noted the Colbert group visited the same buildings as those on Rep. Loudermilk’s,heavily-scrutinized January 5, 2021 tour.

Tucker Carlson Knows What Should Be Done to Stephen Colbert’s Staffers Arrested at Capitol

On Friday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson had a brilliant idea for what should happen to the crew members of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show who were arrested inside the Capitol after hours and without authorization.



“Stephen Colbert’s producers just committed insurrection at the US Capitol,” Carlson tweeted and said that Colbert’s staffers should be locked up in “solitary confinement” for a year and a half, based on the precedent set by the treatment of Jan. 6 prisoners.



“We learned that last night producers for Stephen Colbert’s show on CBS committed insurrection at the United States Capitol,” Carlson began. “The point of them being there was to harass sitting members of Congress — Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert.”



Carlson then noted that the Colbert crew were charged with unlawful entry into the Capitol. “That’s the exact same charge that many January 6 defendants face,” he observed. “We’ll just get right to it: 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.”


“Joking aside, how could they not be held for a year and a half in solitary confinement without being charged?” Carlson continued. “Because the precedent is in place. And how in the world can Adam Schiff, again, who spent the last year and a half eliminating the civil liberties of Trump voters on the basis of January 6, do the exact same thing and not face punishment?”

It won’t happen, of course, but hey, it’s a great idea, and Republicans should insist on this if for no other reason than to help expose the cruel treatment of Trump supporters by their own government.
