They were going around banging on the doors of Republican congressmen. This would interfere with these congressmen carrying out government work. Seditious conspiracy? What did Colbert know and when did he know it.
Seriously, could anything be stupider than to do this in the middle of hearings centered around illegal trespass onto the Capitol building? It trivializes the whole hearing, which was trivial enough to begin with.
And if Democrats make light of this they make light of trespass into the Capitol building for political purposes.
As far as I know Stephen Colbert or Robert Smigel has not used the power of the office of the Presidency to attempt to overturn the results of an election that they new that lost, using a strategy that they knew was unconstitutional and fundraising millions of lying about it all.
They went around banging on doors of only one party. It was a political assault.
Of course two Capitol building invasions for political purposes are going to have differences.
Why are you defending these people?
