DERANGED Colbert Election Special Blames Trump for Black Panther Star's Death #Political

https://bit.ly/32dNW5b


Four years after melting down on election night, Stephen Colbert’s live Showtime 2020 election show suffered a similar fate. This time, the former comedian left it to guest Charlamagne tha God for the unhinged freak out. Trump has now won Florida, Ohio and is ahead in Wisconsin and Michigan. Charlamagne tha God snarled, “I find it fascinating that Donald Trump was literally as bad as everybody said he would be. There is one other person that exceeded other expectations people had of him. And that was LeBron James. We are all witnesses. Yet, this election is still close tonight. What the fuck is going on?”

Even more hateful, the radio host blamed Trump for the death of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman: 

Chadwick Boseman. My South Carolina brethren. RIP brother. That's right. I'm blaming Trump for that. It happened on his watch. If he could take credit for Obama’s economy, a black man’s economy, he can take the blame for the death of the Black Panther. Also, I'm holding him personally responsible for the loss of Aretha Franklin, Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, Kobe Bryant, and Kanye West. I mean, Kanye didn't die, but he is certainly lost. 

Getting in on the hate, Colbert mocked Ohio for going Trump: “CBS is ready to call Ohio, has just been called for Donald Trump. It's gone from the Buckeye State to the ‘Fuck why?’ state. 

At one point, Colbert simulcasted with CBS News. The journalists were offended at the idea that Pennsylvania might go for Trump again: 

GAYLE KING: But he does have a scenario where Joe Biden could win the presidency without Pennsylvania or Florida. 

COLBERT: But it would sting. It would sting. It would be like your mom saying, “You look funny.” 

DICKERSON: Well as someone whose mom said that to them all the time, one thing you should know, Stephen, as you talk about Pennsylvania, it’s still lots of the vote out, but Lackawanna County, which has Scranton in it, Joe Biden 99 percent of the vote in, it looks like he's got it by nine points, which beats Hillary Clinton’s three and a half points in that small county. So, at least in that regard, he can feel like his home turf was on his side. 

KING: I know, Stephen, I think it’s even more than your mom saying, “You look funny.” I think it’s your mom saying, “I never liked you. I always liked your brother better.”

Stephen Colbert's Election Night 2020: Democracy's Last Stand: Building Back America Great Again Better 2020

11:08 p.m. Eastern

STEPHEN COLBERT:  A lot of people are asking me why we're doing this again. We did it four years ago, and it was, quite famously, a painful experience. But you know what? I wouldn't want to be with anybody else than you right now and only partly because we're not allowed to leave New York right now. I'm happy to be here on Showtime because holy shit. It is a weird fucking election.

11:10 p.m. Eastern

COLBERT: At the white house, the president is throwing a party. Is that happening? It's still happening. He's planned 250 guests down to 400. Trump wanted to keep it to his nearest and nearest co-defendants. Once again, a large indoor gathering during a pandemic. If he loses, he can seal his administration in with him like a pharaoh's tome. He has gold walls and his demonic escort into the underworld. [Picture of Stephen Miller.]

11:16 p.m. Eastern

STEPHEN COLBERT: Any for any Okies wondering how your pan is being handled, I can now confidently report that the state of Trump is being called for Donald Trump. Well, you know how the song goes, “Oklahoma, where they don’t care Trump called Herman Cain.”

11:34 p.m. Eastern

GAYLE KING: But he does have a scenario where Joe Biden could win the presidency without Pennsylvania or Florida. 

COLBERT: But it would sting. It would sting. It would be like your mom saying, “You look funny.” 

DICKERSON: Well as someone whose mom said that to them all the time, one thing you should know, Stephen, as you talk about Pennsylvania, it’s still lots of the vote out, but Lackawanna County, which has Scranton in it, Joe Biden 99 percent of the vote in, it looks like he's got it by nine points, which beats Hillary Clinton’s three and a half points in that small county. So, at least in that regard, he can feel like his home turf was on his side.

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD [After playing a clip of Trump saying to black voters, “What do you have to lose?]: Number one, voting rights. I'm talking voter id laws, purging voter rolls, long lines and predominantly black districts in Georgia some voters experienced wait times of up to five hours. Meanwhile, for one white lady, they put a ballot box on the international space station. At this point, you could go back to school, get a degree, go through astronaut training and still vote faster than a brother in ma con. Trump has been everything he can to undermine the affordable care act. Of course he dislikes ObamaCare. It is a combo of the two things he hates the most: Obama and caring. Number three, Chadwick Boseman. My South Carolina brethren. RIP brother. That's right. I'm blaming Trump for that. It happened on his watch. If he could take credit for Obama’s economy, a black man’s economy, he can take the blame for the death of the Black Panther. Also, I'm holding him personally responsible for the loss of Aretha Franklin, Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, Kobe Bryant, and Kanye West. I mean, Kanye didn't die, but he is certainly lost. Speaking of dying, another thing we lost, our fucking lives. 

(....)

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: And finally, this one isn't something that black people have to lose, it is something we all have to lose. Our soul. Black people have long been the soul of this country because we have to believe in the promise of equality and justice that America provides. Just like a belief in a higher power, for black people, America's promise is something that is not visible, but we have faith in that promise. And that faith is a model for all Americans. So we will continue to shout and demand to be treated equally in this country, but we can't do it forever. And if America loses its soul, lord have mercy, it's game over.

(....)

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I find it fascinating that Donald Trump was literally as bad as everybody said he would be. There is one other person that exceeded other expectations people had of him. And that was LeBron James. We are all witnesses. Yet, this election is still close tonight. What the fuck is going on?

(....)

COLBERT: CBS is ready to call Ohio, has just been called for Donald Trump. It's gone from the Buckeye State to the “Fuck why?” state.
