Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).<\/p>\n<p>Colbert used his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/colbert-defends-staffers-arrested-at-u-s-capitol\">opening monologue<\/a> on Monday to explain why it\u2019s \u201cshocking\u201d he has to explain the difference between his staffers and January 6 rioters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn insurrection involves disrupting the lawful actions of Congress and howling for the blood of elected leaders, all to prevent the peaceful transfer of power \u2014 this was first-degree puppetry,\u201d Colbert said.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert upheld his belief that the January 6 Capitol riot and Capitol Police arresting his staffers are different from one another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Capitol Police are much more cautious than they were, say, 18 months ago, and for a very good reason,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t know what that reason is \u2014 I know what news network you watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Carlson stepped in, calling Colbert all sorts of insulting names like a \u201cpartisan scold\u201d or a \u201cKaren\u201d that acts like a \u201cbridle middle-aged woman\u201d who constantly lectures the public.<\/p>\n<p>He even goes so far as to say Colbert and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) might be the same person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you seen them in the same room recently,\u201d Carlson asked. \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson went on to say Colbert\u2019s defense came off as a \u201cmaster\u2019s class on whiny, rich, liberal self-righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a distillation of a worldview that is so concise and so perfect,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is certain to be studied by cultural historians in the future seeking to understand how our civilization collapsed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson went on to mock the actions of Colbert\u2019s staffers and explain why he believes Colbert lost his sense of humor with the average person\u2014excluding his audience, which Carlson described as \u201cself-hating white liberals\u201d like Colbert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t tell us you\u2019re a comedian and exempt from the normal rules of behavior and the normal federal laws about trespassing\u2014cause you\u2019re not,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cYou did what they did, and you should be punished exactly the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday evening retaliated against CBS late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert after his comments insinuating Carlson would rather talk about Colbert\u2019s staffers arrested on U.S. Capitol grounds than the ongoing January 6 Committee hearings. \u201cHow is what Stephen Colbert did different from what the protestors on January 6 have &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":429,"featured_media":1526029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1525992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/429"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1525992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1526029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1525992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1525992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1525992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
