The far-Left host spun the damning particulars from Particular Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s categorised paperwork scandal.
The reality?
Hur’s Home Judiciary Committee look Tuesday confirmed that Biden is “an aged man with a poor reminiscence.”
Hur discovered throughout his felony investigation that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed categorised supplies,” however argued for no fees to be introduced as a result of Biden had critical cognitive points — together with not remembering when his son died or when he served as vice chairman within the Obama administration. Hur concluded {that a} jury would view Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, aged man with a poor reminiscence.”
Hur additionally referred to as the President a liar, however he couched it in additional mild phrases. He dubbed a few of his testimony, “not credible.” We additionally discovered some Democrats tried to persuade Hur to vary his report. He refused.
Appears like one thing a satirist may pounce and/or seize upon.
Hardly.
Enter Stephen Colbert’s Spin Machine 2024.
The late-night host cherry-picked objects from the testimony and ignored materials that mirrored poorly on Biden. First, he performed into the Left’s narrative that Hur went above and past his duties in submitting the report.
“That sort of evaluation is type of exterior the traditional job description of a particular counsel. It’d be like your physician saying, ‘Properly, we ran some checks, Mr. Johnson, and your ldl cholesterol appears excellent, however I’m apprehensive about how ugly you’re. I’m going to write down you a prescription for bag over your head. Limitless refills.’”
Clown nostril on.
Did Stephen Colbert Really Watch Robert Hur’s Testimony?
Later, Colbert centered on a kindness Hur shared with the aged chief. The quote in query contradicts the tenor of the report in addition to what Individuals have witnessed over the past three-plus years.
“Hur refused to have interaction in hypotheticals, however at the moment, he did launch the total transcript of his interviews with the president, and, what are you aware? It’s not as ‘old-man-forgets-a-lot’ as his abstract made it out to be. At one level, Hur even complimented Biden’s reminiscence, particularly saying: ‘You seem to have a photographic understanding and recall.’ So the precise reverse of his report abstract. At this level, I’m apprehensive about Hur’s cognitive means. Did anybody ask him to determine a whale?’
Colbert ignored the whole lot detrimental about Hur’s testimony, which was appreciable. He additionally seemed previous the truth that Biden’s press convention attacking Hur proved to be filled with, properly, “not credible” moments.

It’s unclear if Colbert is definitely on the Democratic payroll. He doubtless does it out of affection, and nothing extra.
If that isn’t the case, he definitely deserves a elevate.
