CBS’s Tuesday monologue was his. Late Show host Stephen Colbert used his supposed credentials as a comedian to demand a change in Wisconsin’s self-defense laws due to the not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Is that his logic? It doesn’t make any sense and it hurts his feelings.
For Colbert, he began unspooling his hate by complaining about the so-called unforgivable act of the crossing of state lines: “Of course, the big news on Friday was that after being accused of crossing state lines, killing two people, and wounding another last year during a Black Lives Matter protest Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all counts.”
Being far away from the stage, the audience started to shout vociferously.
After the booing from the studio audience died down, Colbert declared, “Yeah, okay, cards on the table, I’m not a legal expert, so I can’t tell you whether or not Kyle Rittenhouse broke the law, but I can tell you this: if he didn’t break the law, we should change the law.”
This time, the audience reacted with cheers and applause, which gave Colbert the boost to add: “That seems simple. It seems so simple.
Colbert apparently believes that self defense claims should be tied directly to one’s home address.
As the applause dissipated, he reached for a mammoth-sized strawman: “If Emily Post said it was perfectly proper to go to Thanksgiving, drop trou and leave your ass print in the pumpkin pie, I’d be like, “okay, not illegal, but the system is clearly broken.” So, Rittenhouse was found not guilty, but only a complete moron would celebrate this clear tragedy by making this guy a hero.”
That raises the question about the identity of the people who caused this chaos during Thanksgiving. It sounds like something that a leftist might do, making Thanksgiving a disaster seems to be a good idea.

Okay. [AUDIENCE BOOS] Yeah, okay, cards on the table, I’m not a legal expert, so I can’t tell you whether or not Kyle Rittenhouse broke the law, but I can tell you this: if he didn’t break the law, we should change the law. [AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] It seems so simple. That seems simple. If Emily Post said it was perfectly proper to go to Thanksgiving, drop trou and leave your ass print in the pumpkin pie, I’d be like, “okay, not illegal, but the system is clearly broken.” So, Rittenhouse was found not guilty, but only a complete moron would celebrate this clear tragedy by making this guy a hero.
