Stephen Colbert opened for the first time in a long time Late show Tuesday night with a proud message about yet another mass shooting in the United States.
“Yesterday was another terrible day for America when a gunman went to a Boulder, Colorado, supermarket and killed 10 people, including a police officer,” he began. “This story is incredibly tragic and I can’t imagine the grief of these families even for a moment.” “The only proper way to honor these victims is with action,” Colbert added. “But our government continues to do nothing.”
Partly due to the shutdown of COVID-19, the country had a year full of shootings in public last week in public places, both in Atlanta and Boulder. “Obviously, the only solution to America’s gun violence is to keep us all under house arrest,” he said.
From there, Colbore turned to “speculative” responses from “gun waivers” such as the Colorado State Shooting Association, which said in a statement that “there will be time to discuss gun law.” It will be time to discuss how to prevent this. But today is not the time. ”
“why not?!” Colbert shot back. “It simply came to our notice then. And that’s what I say about what they say every time it happens. ”
“Another gun weight in this tragedy is Fatishist John Wick, Colorado’s representative for Lure Ren Bobert and HR supervisor,” the host added, a tweet from Quenn-Friendly Congresswoman, who wrote in part, “While we’re still waiting for the important Information and details in the case, random public shootings and unconscious acts of violence are never okay. “
“Where does she get the courage?” Colbert asked. “‘Sensless acts of violence are never okay,’ which means intentional violence is good. You know, the kind of thing his colleagues plan on the parlor.”
But it wasn’t done, Sen. With reference to John Kennedy (R-LA), who argued Tuesday that gun control is not a problem in America, but a “stupid control problem.”
“Oh, we definitely have a stupid control problem,” Colbert replied. “There are people who have not experienced gun problems in this country for a long time, John F. Kennedy. So while idiots like John Kennedy refuse to do anything about getting rid of idiots’ guns, there is a clear time to get rid of idiots like John Kennedy. And that means voting for them! ”
