Free Triumph.

Who was Boebert entertaining in her office at 3 a.m.? Isn't that the real story?

My understanding is that they were arrested around 8:30.
We don't know if Boebert was even in her office.

Where are you getting 3 AM and where is the citation she was in her office?

They can arrest comedians but can't stop a riot.

Story:


The U.S. Capitol Police arrested a group of staffers with CBS's "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" after they allegedly illegally entered a U.S. House of Representatives office building on Thursday night, Fox News has learned.

The group of nine people were arrested in the Longworth House Office Building after being escorted out of the Jan. 6 committee hearing earlier in the day because they did not have proper press credentials, according to sources.

The same group resurfaced later on Thursday night after the Capitol complex was closed to public visitors and Fox News is told that they took videos and pictures around the offices of two Republican members of Congress, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy R-Calif. and Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.

A senior source in the U.S House of Representatives told Fox News that nine individuals associated with Stephen Colbert's show were arrested: Jake Plunkett, Allison Martinez, Tyrone Dean, Stephen Romond, Nicoletta Green, Brendan Hurley, Robert Smigel, Josh Comers, David Feldman.

They should have had trump signs and fought with the Capitol Police. My guess is the group did not have enough white men…so they were arrested.

My guess is that the Capitol Police are no longer going to humor anyone, regardless of their White count.

I’d wait for the whole story. This got picked up by right wing propaganda outlets suspiciously quickly. Like it was a set up, a political arrest. We know there are right wing elements within the Capitol Police, we all saw the images of the Capitol Police officers who just opened the barriers for the insurrectionists and those who posed for selfies with the insurrectionists as their patriotic colleagues were being assaulted as they fought to save the country.

This is grossly inaccurate. […] Stop making baseless accusations about the capitol police. It's disgusting behavior given what they have already had to put up with from the public.

Gee, you sure are sensitive. I posted upthread that this had already been put on the Daily Mail website despite it being 3 am there and it not actually being an important story.

Jesse Watters “broke” (should we call it “breaking” when it’s basically a false flag?) the story practically as it was happening. This is coordination between right wing propaganda, the Capitol Police and high level elected GOP. That’s not baseless accusation, that’s just looking at reality.

Not an important story? Way to downplay a breach of our federal government. Are you writing from Moscow?

You’re a Republican. Why don’t you ask all the people in your party who push Moscow’s talking points (Tucker)? Why don’t you ask all the Republican senators who spent the Fourth of July and the anniversary of 9/11 in Moscow?

Honey, sweetie, no. You really don’t understand that this was a coordinated effort to give you sad little regressives something to try to both sides about? You think they wandered in with their cameras with no permits and no permission? And news of it just happened to land simultaneously on Jesse Watters’ desk and every other right wing outlet including overseas? Honey. You’re being played.

I believe the capitol police's account of the story. They told the crew to leave and they didnt. At that point, the crew was trespassing. They dont get a pass for being liberal.

Not when it was a political point by the right wing elements in our country. You’re really tied to pretending that that’s not what this is, but it is.

And let’s remember how the Capitol Police were on 1/5, shall we? There are heroes on the Capitol Police staff and those who probably belong in prison for sedition.

This is Qanon "deep state" nonsense. The crew didnt follow the instructions to leave, and were arrested. There is no conspiracy.

They were following directions and got arrested. The republicans rot is strong in the Capitol Police. These are the same people who put on Trump hats on and helped the right wing storm the Capitol or they caught the “blue” flu on Jan 6th. You are just pushing republicans propaganda. Republicans hate everything this country stands for.

Interesting that you're making up scenarios to excuse illegal behavior. Very telling.

Sorry! Wrong guess!!!!

Let’s see, story broken by Jesse Waters, already online at the Daily Mail despite the fact that it’s 3 am there and the only place you can really find this info is the RWNJ propaganda sphere, so I’m gonna go ahead and say: “Not sorry! Right guess!!!!”

DP. Here's a nice lefty source for you. You are not just wrong, you're a nitwit.

Hilarious! Since when have you people "waited for the whole story"? The minute you catch a whiff of anything salacious, no matter how far-fetched or implausible, you're off and running on the gossip/outrage train.

^^^^

The truth. The best way to defeat rightwing authoritarianism is to LAUGH AT THEM. Their egos can’t handle laughter and humor at their expense.

You're clearly confused. You just described liberals to a T. Utterly humorless when the joke is on them.

DP. Every word you keep posting is the very definition of propaganda. The PP is correct. The Colbert crew did not follow instructions to leave. What part of this do you not (want to) understand? You so desperately don't want liberals to be caught doing anything illegal, you're more than happy to make up outlandish scenarios to justify what happened. Get over yourself.

It’s pretty clear the USCP is infiltrated with rightwing extremist elements in the rank and file.

I could easily see how a few of them recognized this as an opportunity to make a scene with this tv crew and turn it into something it wasn’t.

Cops are corrupt, but they’re not stupid. They saw an opportunity here, and took advantage of it.

The incident is over - but you're still beating this dead horse and insisting something sinister was at play? Grow up.

They need to be in prison or the whole J6 theatre is completely undone. Why did Colbert do something so damaging to the democrats and helpful for Trump?

Are you high?

Did they raise the gallows for Pence?
Did they defecate in the Capitol?
Did they injure police?

Not even comparable.
