Comedian & Tesla Owner Worth $75M Says It’s Morally Good to Pay $15 a Gallon for Gas
NewsBusters ^ | 3/8/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 03/08/2022 8:02:23 AM PST by JV3MRC

Was it part of multimillionaire CBS comedian Stephen Colbert’s routine to look like a complete hypocrite by lecturing people about the morals of paying higher gas prices?

The Late Show host praised that the U.S. and European allies are finally considering banning imports of Russian oil. Of course, the consideration comes after President Joe Biden slapped more sanctions on American oil than Russian oil. Under Biden, the U.S. has reportedly imported “more than half a million barrels per day (BPD) of oil from Russia,” making Russia the U.S.’s third largest oil supplier. Colbert conceded that gas prices have hit $4 a gallon, but then claimed: “A clean conscience is worth a buck or two.” He continued his nonsense with a facetious twist: “I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I'll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.” Pontificating about the virtue of paying high gas prices while driving an electric vehicle is blatant hypocrisy, and so is the fact that the show host also enjoys a $75 million net worth.

Colbert definitely put his foot in his mouth.

It is interesting that now that Biden’s actions have created $5 a gallon gasoline... the lefties have raised their goal from $10 a gallon to $15 a gallon. Does any one really think they will end this insanity at $15?

Elon himself has called for more drilling. And hes the richest man in America. Plus high gas prices are good for his business.

Must be nice.

These are the kind of people that incite violent responses, like the guillotine in 1792.

Well, that settles it for me. Colbert has a Tesla, then I need to get a Tesla.

Sarcasm......

Exactly my thought. I’ve never heard Coal-bert say anything even slightly funny.
