reentered the building. accounts vary as to what exactly happened next but it seems clear nicole bare s employees were let inside by an ally within the building. that would be a freshman member of congress from massachusetts jake. once on federal property colbert s employees did what they claim do which was disrupt the business of congress and apparently they were not subtle about doing it. they pounded on doors and yelled. whatever they did, it got people s attention. it takes an awful lot for a police force controlled by nancy pelosi to arrest a group of entertainment figures. but that s exactly what happened next. capitol hill police arrested seven colbert employees and brought them to jail. all seven of them were charged with unlawful entry. that s the identical charge that hundreds of january 6th defendants have been prosecuted for. but, unlike january 6th defendants colbert s employees were not sent to jail for a year and a half in solitary confinement they were release
did different from what the protesters on january 6th have been convicted of doing. that s a very good question and a question colbert himself spent the weekend thinking about. his conclusion well, unlike trump voters, stephen colbert s a very good person therefore any comparison is not simply ridiculous, it is a moral crime. watch. now, it s predictable why these talkers are talking like this on the tv. they want to talk about something other than the january 6th hearings on the tulsa digsist insurrection that led to the deaths of multiple people and the injury of over 140 police officers. but drawing any e executive lens between rioters storming our cam to to prevent the counting of electoral ballots and a cigar chomping toy doing is shameful and grotesque to everybody who died. extremely trivial ices the courage the capitol hill police showed on that terrible day. tucker: yeah. it was a toy dog you been dog.
