Just heard that Colbert aired a rerun last night.

Guess his plans of highlighting the J6 Unselect Committee and harassing conservatives was foiled.

Tucker Carlson Accuses Stephen Colbert Production Crew of ‘Insurrection’

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has accused a production crew for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert of “insurrection” following their Thursday night arrest at the U.S. Capitol.

Carlson made the accusation during the Friday night edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight. The conservative pundit tied the arrest of seven Colbert staffers, who were at the Capitol complex to record a comedy segment, to the violent January 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol building by a large group of Donald Trump supporters attempting to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

“Last night, producers for Stephen Colbert’s CBS show committed insurrection at the United States Capitol,” said Carlson. “[Democratic U.S. Representative] Adam Schiff illegally gave producers from CBS access to the Capitol. And then the group... remained in the Longworth House Office Building after hours.”

Carlson maintained that the production crew stayed in the building in an attempt to “harass sitting members of Congress” including Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Carlson noted that the group was detained on a charge of Unlawful Entry, a charge that many of the January 6 defendants also faced.
