Stephen Colbert spent years spreading one of many worst political lies in current reminiscence.
“The Late Present” host went all-in on the Russia Conspiracy Hoax, going as far as to name President Donald Trump the “c***holster” for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.
Then, when the hoax dissembled in actual time, he couldn’t even muster a easy, “My unhealthy” to his company viewers.
Nothing.
Rachel Maddow is even worse on this entrance. She was a part of the MSNBC machine that pushed the identical hoax on a nightly foundation. Once more, no apologies.
This week, Colbert and Maddow reunited to unfold extra conspiracies.
This time, the duo stated the GOP is planning to remove elections transferring ahead to maintain them in energy, presumably ceaselessly.
Their proof? They’ve none. That doesn’t cease them, in fact. It not often does. It’s much like the conspiratorial nonsense spouted on “The View.” All mania. Few, if any, info.

Right here’s Colbert setting the conspiracy in movement:
“This isn’t the conduct of people that seem to be they consider they should reply to voters in 18 months. That worries me. Not that they don’t seem to be nervous, however that they don’t suppose that they need to be nervous as a result of perhaps they don’t have to fret about an election in any respect.”
Maddow: “[Trump] doesn’t suppose there must be elections.”
“They’re consolidating energy, they’re disempowering Congress, ignoring Congress, defunding businesses or closing businesses. That’s Congress’s job, that’s not the president’s job. When they’re defying court docket orders, that’s them saying the courts don’t have authority over the president, that’s consolidating all the ability in a single man, that’s authoritarianism, and that’s what you do whenever you don’t ever need to have an election since you need to keep in energy for all times, and that’s what they’re attempting.”
There’s nothing humorous about this worry mongering. And, worst of all, that is allegedly a comedic showcase. It’s late-night TV, the place viewers anticipate to settle into their beds with some gentle leisure.
As an alternative, they’re force-fed the rantings of far-Left souls who’d somewhat scare viewers than entertain them.
And, when 2026 rolls round and the elections proceed as typical, neither will provide a touch of a mea culpa. They’ll be too busy telling us the 2028 elections gained’t occur.
