Tim Pool Errs in Believing Colbert is Joking
In a recent YouTube video “disaffected liberal” commentator Tim Pool suggests Stephen Colbert’s comment concerning a possible future confederacy was merely a joke. Tim Pool errs by believing Colbert was joking or otherwise speaking sarcastically.
Stephen Colbert has repeatedly called Donald Trump and his supporters racist. Generally, these accusations are made without evidence or made by “individuals familiar with the President’s thinking.”
By suggesting Texas et al. are forming a new confederacy, Colbert was continuing his accusation that Trump and his supporters are racist. The original Confederacy supported and fought for the continued practice of slavery. Colbert’s behavior suggests he believes any future confederacy will share the same barbaric views.
