Although Republicans are still expected to take a narrow House majority, control of the Senate is still in question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a performer, there are three things you don\u2019t want to follow: animals, children, or a fascist takeover of your country,\u201d Colbert taunted. \u201cThese results is (sic) a crisp nut-punch to Republican optimism leading up to this election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colbert continued, citing headlines he\u2019d apparently seen on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2019The vaunted red wave never hit the shore in mid-term elections,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201c\u2018That\u2019s not a red wave,\u2019 and \u2018The red wave was more like a pink splash.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, a pink splash,\u201d Colbert said. \u201cIt was a salmon drizzle, a rosy wash. It\u2019s like what happens when you accidentally wash your Klan robes with your MAGA hat. It\u2019s just a little pink wash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colbert has demonstrated his contempt for conservatives many times in the past. In March, in the face of soaring gas prices devastating American consumers, Colbert <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/stephen-colberts-elitism-on-soaring-gas-prices-hell-ill-pay-15-a-gallon-because-i-drive-a-tesla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mocked<\/a>\u00a0struggling average Joes and said it was part of the price of backing Ukraine in its war with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 a gallon,\u201d he said. \u201cOK, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two. It\u2019s important. I\u2019m willing to pay $4\/gallon. Hell, I\u2019ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in May 2019, the cold open for his show opened by mocking farmers, intimating that if their finances were hurt by President Trump\u2019s tariffs targeting China, they would lose their wives to convicts, start stripping for a living, become alcoholics, and turn to growing marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>The show began by playing a clip from a CNN report that claimed President Trump\u2019s \u201ctrade war [is] having a major impact on American farmers after talks with China have halted. Some farmers seem to be losing hope.\u201d That was followed by a clip of a farmer who said he had voted for Trump in 2016 but would not do so again.<\/p>\n<p>The show then aired a cartoon titled, \u201cThe Farmer in the Dell,\u201d based on the famous children\u2019s song, but this time with new lyrics, accompanied by the visuals in the cartoon:<\/p>\n<p><em>Tariffs posed by Trump<\/em><br \/><em>Put the farmers in a dump<\/em><br \/><em>Oh no, the derry-o, the farmer\u2019s in a slump.<\/em><br \/><em>The farmer lost his wife.<\/em><br \/><em>She wants a better life.<\/em><br \/><em>She ran off with an ex-convict who rides a b****in\u2019 bike.<\/em><br \/><em>The farmer needs a job.<\/em><br \/><em>He\u2019s stripping while he sobs.<\/em><br \/><em>Hi-ho the stripper pole, they\u2019re laughing at his knob.<\/em><br \/><em>The farmer drinks a lot,<\/em><br \/><em>His liver starts to rot.<\/em><br \/><em>Chuggitiy-chug the winey-o<\/em><br \/><em>Time to start growing pot.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far-left late-night host Stephen Colbert mocked Republicans as \u201cfascists\u201d and Ku Klux Klan members a day after predictions of a red wave failed to materialize in Tuesday\u2019s midterm elections.
