Fake Comedian Stephen Colbert goes on and on every night about how Trump is responsible for everything wrong in the world today.

So tonight, in his monologue, while discussing the two tragedies this week, Colbert stressed how the letter bomb nutcase perp, Cesar Sayoc, was a fan of Trump, which is true.

But in his heated hateful rhetoric about Trump tonight, Colbert failed to mention the fact that Robert Bowers, the murderer of the 11 in the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, despised Trump, and definitely wasnt a fan of Trump. Bowers has been quoted as saying he hates Trump, because Trump is too close to Jews.

Seems to me it was an intentional omission, to mislead.

After watching Colbert tonight, youd have thought that Robert Bowers idolized Trump, just like Cesar Sayoc idolized Trump.

Yes, I know Stephen Colbert is a comedian, but fair is fair. At least on this sad week in history, Colbert could have been a little more accurate. But no, anything to get his point across, that Trump is the cause of both atrocities.

Perhaps CBS should be called out on this.

Seriously?

There are bigger problems going on in the world right now than what Stephen Colbert said on TV.

What a world in which we take a comedian's words more seriously than the president's.

Sorry. Many people are influenced by Stephen Colbert, whether we want to admit it or not.

By Colbert talking about the 2 perps together, and mentioning how Sayoc idolized Trump, it lead people to think that Bowers, the murderer of the 11, loved Trump as well, and perhaps killed to please Trump, his idol. Not so, at all.

I watched it with someone else who felt the same as I did. Colbert didnt actually say the words "Trump inspired Bowers", but that was the message you could easily get by Colbert talking about the two perps together, and how alike they are, and showing Sayoc's van that was plastered with Trump literature.

Colbert is the worst, and he's not funny at all. It's sad that he's still on tv.

I've now watched it three times. I think this what you are referring to?

After talking about Sayoc's van.

Colbert: Now, with Sayoc's adoration of Trump, and the fact that everyone Sayoc sent a bomb to was someone Trump targeted in his speeches, Its reasonable to ask if the president's racist fear mongering, and declaring so called 'enemies of the people' in anyway encourages violence to people he calls enemies. Reporters asked if the president bears any of that responsibility.

cut to Sarah Sanders: The only people responsible for carrying out these heinous acts where the people carrying them out.

Someone who is "unfunny". Their attempts at humor fall flat, and miss the mark.

In 1984, the telescreens didn't have off switches, but today's TVs do.

By Trump talking about Soros and the caravan together, it lead people to think that Jews are responsible and lead at least one person to shoot up a synagogue.

When Colbert fans start sending bombs in the mail and shooting up synagogues, we can talk. Till then, clean up your own house.

Cool new rule.
I guess you didn't "talk" about Trump until a trump fan sent bombs?

(No Trump fan ever shot up a synagogue. .. Was that a typo?)

I absolutely love Stephen Colbert. He is the best, most brilliant thing about the Trump presidency, and puts all the insanity going on in the White House, in clear perspective.

Many people are influenced by Trump when it is a bad thing, but ignore him when it is a good thing?

Love how things only go one way with you.

If Bowers were influenced by Trump, then he would be welcoming Jews into his immediate family instead of murdering them. How many Jews did Trump murder BTW?

The main stream media and the TV programmers are missing the mark. Folks don't want the constant put down of Trump. They are sick of all the one sided negativity. I can't watch the few shows I enjoyed because they have become soap boxes to lecture us deplorables.

The Washington Post had a recent headline:

Don't Compare Donald Trump to Trump Hitler. It Belittles Hitler.

This belittles the holocaust and the millions of murdered people and all the people that died on the battlefield. Stop trivializing Hitler.

I will not read The Washington Post again for a long time.

For all the preaching and one sided press, the black approval rate of Trump is at 40%. It's no surprise with black unemployment at a historic low this is so. That's one demographic the liberals counted in their pockets.

Approximately half the country doesn't disapprove of Trump. The programmers had better figure that out because they lose viewers and advertisement dollars. Why do they deliberately alienate half their audience?

I think she meant the bombs sent by Seyoc.

Although worse than that, there was another shooting last week - a white man shot and murdered two random black strangers in a supermarket in Kentucky, it seems because of racism (he told a white man there that he wouldn't shoot him, because "whites don't shoot whites").

It was a hint to Colbert mocking the Trump coined expression "Fake news" that Trump says the media reports (maybe deservedly so, for this specific reason), in every single one of Colbert's monologues.

This is overly simplistic.

Bowers could have agreed with Trump about the migrant caravan, but - because of a pre-existing hatred of Jews that Trump didn't share - decided to attack Jews.

Metaphorically speaking, it's like if Trump lit a match, and inspired someone else to do the same. Trump's lit match did nothing, because Trump is full of hot air, and air burns at normal speed. The other guy was full of gasoline, and his lit match caused an explosion.

Bowers could have been inspired by people who were inspired by Trump. One of the things we know about him is that he spent time talking to other racists on social media. Pro-Trump racists could have strengthened his conviction in his own beliefs, even if he didn't agree with them about Trump.

Metaphorically speaking, it would be as if Trump were spreading the polio virus - but hey, no big deal, we're all vaccinated here. Inevitably, the virus will reach someone who hasn't been vaccinated, and the results could be tragic.

Of course, Trump might not be to blame at all. Statistically speaking, anti-Semitism is up by 25% - meaning that even if we assume Trump is exclusively to blame for all 25%, still, 80% of anti-Semitic attacks these days aren't Trump-inspired.

But even if he isn't to blame, it is hardly unreasonable to expect the president not to say things with racist implications. And I fully agree that Trump implying racism is OK is a much bigger concern than Colbert implying that a racist liked Trump.

Trump isn't anti-Semitic. He is the biggest friend Jews have in the oval office in a long time. But he lit the match? Bowers hates Trump.

Who is responsible for shooting Scalise or the letters with the white powder sent tui the Trump family?

You have misplaced the blame. anti-Semitism is up world wide. The rise in social media is to blame where people can meet like kinds.
