Democrats put in ‘awkward position’ as Stephen Colbert staffers charged with illegal entry

What happened on September 6th?

beats me! (thanks for the reminder)

It was a Fake Dog as well.

Has anyone looked for confirmation and further details of this story from other sources? I have. Here are some more facts about this event:

Earlier in the day, the CBS staffers were conducting interviews that were authorized and pre-arranged by congressional aides. After leaving the members' offices where the authorized interviews were conducted, the crew stayed in the building to film standups and other final comedy elements in the halls when they were detained by Capitol police. They were reportedly escorted out of the building earlier in the day but had re-entered by an aide to Auchincloss who believed they had more interviews to conduct. They just stayed around there filming too long. They were rightly detained by capital police and escorted out of the building. This comes amid heightened sensitivity around unlawful or unauthorized access to congressional buildings and came as the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection concluded.

In an attempt to minimize the seriousness of the January 6th insurrection, the far right media has jumped at the chance to compare that insurrection with a CBS film crew doing their job.

Please don't minimize unauthorized access to the Capitol, in the first case many were motioned toward the Capitol and then walked past the guards with no one telling them they were trespassing, in this case the Colbert people had already been escorted out and should have known better. What would be fair in accordance with previous sentences, three to five years each?

I’m fine with life sentences for all the people arrested, along with anyone who might have encourage it. Yes, even if that includes Stephen Colbert.

If…

We also imprison for life anyone who who was in the capital on Jan. 6, or anyone who encouraged it. Yes, even if that includes Trump included.

Scorched earth. Whaddayasay?

As long as we can throw the Democrat politicians and all of the supporters of the hundreds of riots in jail, why not?

We’ll, if you’re going to go outside the original incidents (don’t think we don’t see what you’re doing), we can also imprison any Republican politician that spews hate, along with any citizens who follow said politicians, since I can arbitrarily call that treason, as it plays into the Russian game plan to destabilize the US.

Your turn. Think at the end of this anyone is NOT going to be in prison?

 

[SoldierOfTheKing]

People wanting to overthrow a government and who assaulted police versus some staffers from a comedy show.

Totally the same thing.

Note that your case against the January 6 protestors is based not on what they did, but on what they were allegedly trying to do.

I could speculate to no end on what Colbert's staffers were trying to do, but it would be pointless.

Are you seriously trying to tell us you do not know what those who stormed the Capitol were trying to do? And you have no idea what a group from a comedy show were doing in a Capitol Hill building with a cigar-chomping rubber puppet called Triumph The Insult Comic Dog?

Seriously?

So, please...speculate. I really would like to know.

There were real mobs looting and burning and looting, destroying property and assaulting, to included members of BLM and Antifa.

In the Capitol? I'd be curious to see evidence of that ... assuming this isn't some weak attempt to bring up scary black people protesting something totally different in a totally different location as a distraction from the original premise of the thread not going well.

 

[KCfromNC]

Why do you believe this guy?

Isn't it enough that he says things one wish were real?

Luckily it wasn't a cat, otherwise this thread might be Fake Mews.

I'll let myself out.

 

[DamianWarS]

The title of the thread is the title of the article.

Are you not in control of the title of the thread?

 

[durangodawood]

We need a 6/16 committee to sort through this obvious assault on American democracy.

Haha. Many of the Jan 6 trespassers are not getting any time at all. Others are generally getting 45-60 days. Yes, the people who attacked police are getting sentences in the years.

That's great, if they attack police they should get some years in jail. So now we need to round up the crowd at the homes of the Supreme Court justices, get their photos out, track them down and arrest them.

To get rid of the Colbert Show?

Deal.

How about just having them spend 18 months in solitary confinement?

Along with the Jan. 6 rioters, Trump and anyone in congress that encouraged what happened? Seems a bit milquetoast to me. I thought Republicans were tough on crime. Life in prison is the least of what they all deserve…

Indeed. Chalking a coat hanger on a public roadway could see you sent down for life.

It was a rubber puppet. Is this how far the standard of discourse has dropped over the last three or four years?

Just days after an assassination attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which was specifically motivated by the potential fall of Roe v. Wade, pro-abortion terrorist groups have now moved on to threatening the children of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

Let's not minimize how scary it has been for these children and their parents. There also have been 60 attacks on pro-life organizations throughout the nation, and there will surely be more violent riots from leftists should the Supreme Court decide to turn abortion decisions to the states. There were no attempts to murder members at the Capitol, and I think it would be worthwhile for all to look at the videos of the violence perpetrated by BLM and Antifa. These are not a few kooky individuals, these are organized leftist organizations that use violence. The terror groups are being encouraged by Democrat politicians.
