Colbert Wants to Pretend Buttigieg Isn’t Very Liberal: Don’t Get ‘Pigeonholed!’

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show has become a required stopping point for 2020 Democrats. Making it clear that he has no interest in bipartisan jokes, Colbert is basically stumping for all the contenders. On Thursday’s show, the host tried to pretend that Mayor Pete Buttigieg isn’t extremely liberal.

Talking to the man who has hard-left views on guns, abortion, wants to pack the Supreme Court and eliminate the electoral college, Colbert seized on Buttigieg’s use of the term "ideological centrism." The comedian pretended, “So, when you say ideological centrism... are you saying that to make sure you don't get pigeonholed into the things the press seems to be talking about. You’re either incrementalist or your radical change. Where do you fall in that artificial split?”

Colbert is at or near the top of the list of leftists I despise.

He is such a vile, hateful bigot. In a saner time, his Stalinist propaganda fest would never have gotten 5 minutes of airtime on a major network.

Every now and then, TCM shows Carson episodes from years like 1975 or 1980, etc and I also watched one or a couple on Antenna TV when I was in Virginia last spring. Were times like that even so different compared to now, particularly when you watch those Carson shows?

Mayor Peter Eater is as leftist as Almost Occasionally Coherent.

Why hasn’t anyone asked

If this guy can’t run some podunk shiatstain town, how can he run a country?

Remember Trump wasn’t qualified because Trump Steaks in the sharper image didn’t sell that well? Remember?

But some failed faggot from a failed town is qualified? Why isn’t that fact ever brought up?

Profoundly so. It’s like an evil has settled over the land. An anti-Christian, fascist ugliness that worships the most vacuous, shallow, deranged, insipid and banal of our sick culture.

Like Willard, Zero’s ringer, who was an absolutely horrific failure of a Governor of Taxachusetts. The left loves to promote the most incompetent.

“Pigeonholed”

Being a bird ain’t all about flying and sh!++!ng from high places. Voltaire

That mayor Pete feels safe and free enough to run for President is strong testimony that folks of his sexual persuasion are not victims at all . . . not at all “pigeonholed”. No, he can fly, $hi+ from high places, and do whatever the hell else he chooses to do. Victim? - not even close.

Occasional Cortex is not leftist, she’s whatever she thinks, her bouncer boyfriend, wants her to be.

Her new boyfriend pays all her bills and gets her onto tv.

Steve Coal-burt, as I say his last name, is an angry leftist filled with all-consuming hate. I have never found him to be the least bit funny.

His arrogance is outmatched by his ignorance. Not a healthy combination.

First Mayor Butthead needs to return to South Bend, IN and shut down all of the Steak Houses and Burger Joints. After his crazy talk on the CNN Townhall, he believes that eating Beef is destroying the climate. This jerk cannot run a small city...

You are correct. The evil is settling over our country every day. Leftists are bought with Soros/Islam money. Islam = evil.
