If you’ve repeatedly told a falsehood on TV for more than two years, there’s a strong chance you might feel embarrassed enough to stop speaking about it.
Or, you’d explain why you spread the lie and promise it won’t happen again.
Not Stephen Colbert.
For several months during President Donald Trump’s initial term, the Gullible Ally propagated the unfounded allegations of Russian collaboration.
When the hoax collapsed in real time Colbert never bothered to apologize or backpedal.
CBS executives did not pressure him into it, but they produced a two-part miniseries that portrayed the hoax as real. Later on, mainstream media outlets continued to present the hoax as if it were still accurate.
Some outlets treated its creative team as truth-telling messengers.
Sad.
It’s not surprising that Colbert has been known to spread untruths about Trump. Recently, he asserted something so blatantly false that even Snopes, a well-known fact-checking website, felt compelled to refute it.

On Wednesday, Colbert delivered his fresh round of criticisms against Trump, introducing a new and concerning element to his rhetoric. In his performance, the progressive comedian subtly implied that Trump might hold sympathies with Nazism.
The walls are closing in!
To set the facts straight, it’s important to note that the phrase “America First” was actually used by a group of Americans with sympathies towards Nazis in the 1930s. It wasn’t until 2017 that Donald Trump adopted this slogan for his own political agenda.
Who among current or recent presidents has been more supportive of Israel and the Jewish community than Trump? Surely, nobody can match up to Hitler, the worst Nazi in history.
Later on, Colbert imitated Trump’s voice roughly, saying, “very fine people.” This was perceived as a subtle signal or code to his fervent, liberal followers.
Some individuals might be unaware that the “Very Fine People” remark has been extensively refuted, or they may choose to disregard it and attend Colbert’s nightly applause-and-cheer session.
Colbert has a team of writers at his back. Do any of them know truth from fiction?
Even scarier? Does Colbert?
Even though it may seem so, he’s not the only one involved. This year, Amber Ruffin and Hannah Einbinder from “Hacks,” too, propagated the “Very Fine People” deception.
