Dr. Frankenstein is mad in regards to the creature he dropped at life.
Stephen Colbert admonished his lapdog dwell viewers this week following a narrative tied to, who else, President Donald Trump.
Colbert famous how the Left-wing fever swamp, though he didn’t use these phrases, went craz(ier) in current days over a rumor that President Trump had died.Â
“Once I got here again into the workplace, I used to be shocked to study that, this weekend, the largest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether or not Donald Trump had died. For the report, Donald Trump could be very a lot alive.”
The “Late Present” viewers erupted in boos.
“No. We like our presidents alive. Donald Trump could be very a lot alive.”
Colbert needed to instruct his sycophants that wishing for a U.S. president’s loss of life isn’t morally sound. It’s unclear if stated viewers took the message to coronary heart, however its implications couldn’t be clearer.
They need him useless, and so they’re completely satisfied to share that sentiment in public.
However why?
It’s easy. Colbert and fellow late-night hacks have created a model of President Trump that’s both Hitler-lite, Hitler-adjacent or one thing near historical past’s biggest monster. Who wouldn’t need that model of Trump useless?
The Legacy Media deserves loads of blame right here, too, together with progressive politicians who fed into the poisonous model of Trump that many individuals imagine at this time. Heck, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz appeared desirous to learn Trump’s obituary sooner moderately than later.
The “Late Present’s” ghoulish response wasn’t an outlier.
