His jokes fall flat, his monologues are predictable, and his \u200cguests all lean \u2064towards the left. It&#8217;s clear that &#8220;The Late Show with Stephen Colbert&#8221; has become a propaganda machine for the Democratic party.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>So surprise me not when Democratic Sen. John Fetterman showed up wearing his \u2062hoodie and signature shorts to trade insults \u200dwith Colbert about his Republican constituents.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is the \u200bman an embarrassment \u2062as a politician, he has downgraded the entire House and Senate in\u2062 his refusal to represent the American people \u200bwith a modicum of respectability and class.\u2062 Additionally, trashing those he works alongside on\u200b national television just shows how despicable \u200cand unintelligent he is. Colbert and his crowd, however, loved Fetterman\u2019s remark.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<p>During his Wednesday appearance, Colbert decided to \u2063discuss Fetterman&#8217;s &#8220;strong meme\u200b game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is it awkward to be in the Capitol and\u200d then \u2064run into people that you have put up a devastating meme about because you\u2019ve got excellent meme game, but then you have to see these people in the cafeteria?&#8221; Colbert asked, stroking Fetterman&#8217;s \u200cego.<\/p>\n<p>(For those \u2064of\u2064 us, citizens,\u2062 who actually expect our government to be more than clever meme creators, I question\u200b what value that skill adds to our national security, the rebuilding of\u2064 our economy or our impending involvement\u2062 in the Hamas-Israel \u200cwar? To that \u200dsame\u2064 end, has\u2064 Fetterman seen\u200c the scathing memes created by others\u200c about himself. Ones that \u200dcompare him to\u2062 a sanitation worker at\u2064 the Capitol, the Senate\u2019s auto\u2064 mechanic, and more adequately portray how Fetterman is actually viewed by those\u2063 he is supposed to represent? )<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\" class=\"one-half\">\n<div class=\"firefly-poll-question\">Is John Fetterman\u2062 fit for office?<\/div>\n<div id=\"pollFormBox\" style=\"display: none\">\n\t\t<label>Yes<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t<label>No<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-poll-disclaimer\">\n<p>\t\tCompleting \u200dthis poll\u200b entitles you to The Western Journal \u2064news\u2062 updates free of charge.

It&#8217;s\u2063 actually scary, too,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>His words criticizing\u2064 the\u2062 intelligence of Republican senators and representatives only \u2064fuels the divide our entire nation is experiencing.\u2062 A house divided shall fall. Isn&#8217;t his job to make the United States stronger? You\u200b can see\u2062 his underbelly through his comments.<\/p>\n<p>Conceivably, the \u2063only reason Fetterman captured his Senate seat \u2062is because he had \u2063the power of the great Democratic collective and money machine backing\u200b him. They needed another empty-headed, controllable body to count on from a key state.<\/p>\n<p>A tree stump could\u200d have taken his place\u200b had one\u2063 qualified for candidacy. I don&#8217;t say this to \u200briff on Fetterman&#8217;s very real\u2062 auditory and depression <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/john-fettermans-staff-releases-new-statement-health-no-update-wife-fled-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issues<\/a>. Neither of these are funny,\u2063 and I&#8217;m\u2063 not one to sink so low.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be real, though, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/going-john-fettermans-eyes-first-video-since-leaving-hospital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fetterman<\/a> is no rocket scientist. He&#8217;s a tool to be used in whatever way possible to grow and feather the bed of the Democratic party. He also showed what was important to him in this \u2064interview.<\/p>\n<p>A few giggles are \u2062important to Fetterman; his concerns are very self-serving. If \u2064they weren&#8217;t, he wouldn&#8217;t have \u2064engaged in such \u200dshallow \u2064conversation designed to place the Republican party and his direct constituents in such \u2063poor light. It speaks a lot to his character, beyond his intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, what Fetterman doesn&#8217;t get is, &#8220;It is normally the least intelligent person in the room that doesn&#8217;t\u2062 even realize exactly \u200bhow stupid he\u200d is.&#8221; Seems like that classic statement holds \u2063true here as well.<\/p>\n<p>That is the reason he now believes he is above those \u2062he \u2062serves alongside. He stands on huge shoulders, but it isn&#8217;t because he deserves to be there. It is because\u200d he is useful and\u2064 obedient\u200b to the Democratic party,\u2063 like \u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gop-doctor-biden-classic-sign-dementia-something-obvious-outside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Joe Biden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is Fetterman was right when he said to Colbert\u200c with such hubris that &#8220;America is not \u2064sending their \u2063best and brightest to D.C.&#8221; The man is the joke \u2062of the Senate, and he hasn&#8217;t a clue. It \u2062would be funny, if it wasn&#8217;t \u2062so \u200dsad.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>A Note from Our Founder:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>Silicon Valley and the Big Tech tyrants have done everything they can to put The Western Journal out of business.
