Stephen Colbert jokingly called the arrests ‘first-degree puppetry’
During Monday night’s “Late Show,” Colbert downplayed the arrests as a “very professional” interaction between his staff and “cautious” Capitol Police officers.
The host opened the show by asking the audience about their weekends before joking, “Well, I had an interesting one and some members of my staff had a memorable one.”

“The Capitol police were just doing their job, my staff was just doing their job, everyone was very professional, everyone was very calm,” the host continued. “My staffers were detained, processed and released. A very unpleasant experience for my staff.”
January 6th was first degree puppetry too
Colbert is a Democrat Puppet !!!!!
He quit being funny since his days at comedy central. Now his is just a political mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. A true a hole! I’ll bet his ratings are in the toilet!
