Late night leftist loudmouth Colbert claims he’s ‘more conservative than people think’

Liberal comedian Stephen Colbert seems to be trying to whitewash his own political history by claiming he is “more conservative” than people assume.

The late-night host, known for launching barbs at Republicans and especially President Donald Trump, claimed in a recent interview that he isn’t the “lefty figure” that he’s made out to be. Speaking to GQ‘s Zach Baron, he said The Late Show‘s viewership is made up of “about a third Republicans, a third Democrats, a third Independents.”

“The demographics of these shows are interesting, too. It’s about a third, a third, a third. It’s about a third Republicans, a third Democrats, a third Independents. You’d think, you know, old, you know, people perceive me as this sort of lefty figure. I think I’m more conservative than people think. I just happen to be talking about a government in extremis, and so what I’m giving you is my reaction video today.”

“And, and my reaction video is like, you know, is like the scream in a way, but with, with jokes, and so that makes me—perceives me as more left necessarily than I am because I’m not sure of what other reaction would be an honest one. It’s hard to have a balanced reaction to the idea of troops on the streets of a city that actually is not undergoing an invasion. Is any other reaction honest other than to?” Colbert continued.

“According to an Associated Press-NORC poll in September, regular viewers of late-night television tend to lean Democrat, with approximately one-third saying they watch late-night live, compared to two in 10 for Republicans and independents,” Mediaite reports.

X users didn’t buy what the host is selling:

His idea of being conservative is not wearing a nose ring.

Maybe he is. After all, I think he’s a little to the left of Stalin and Chairman Mao, so he might be more conservative than I think.

Supports abortion, trans rights, radical Muslim ideology – yeah, he’s very very conservative.
