Four of the five liberal late night comedy shows focused a lot of energy on their Thursday episodes on the situation in Minneapolis. According to them, the administration is lying about the female driver being a threat to the ICE agent who shot her, people who agree with the administration are fascists, and Trump plans to use the situation to further his goal of governing without elections.
After playing a clip of DHS chief Kristi Noem claiming the driver rammed the agents, The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert quipped on CBS, “I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you lying over your hat. Yesterday, Minnesota governor Tim Walz tweeted, ‘I've seen the video. Don't believe this propaganda machine.’"
For months, blue states and cities have refused to cooperate with the feds, but now that the shoe is on the other foot, Colbert smelled a conspiracy afoot, “And not only are they trying to spin this without presenting the evidence, today Minnesota investigators said that the FBI has blocked them from accessing the evidence. So, the message from this administration is clear: Only they determine the truth, and when our forces come to your city, obey or die, and if you die, you clearly didn't obey.”
