Stephen Colbert suggests Fox News reporter should be slapped over his question to Biden

Late night television host Stephen Colbert suggested that a Fox News reporter should be slapped over his questions to President Joe Biden during his latest media briefing.

Colbert made the comments during the opening monologue on this show Tuesday.

"Yesterday, President Biden held a press conference, and he was asked a ridiculous question by a ridiculous man, Fox News reporter and that one kid in high school who wears a suit to gym class, Peter Doocy," said Colbert before running video of the exchange between Doocy and Biden.

"You said a chemical weapon used by Russia would trigger a response in kind," said Doocy in the clip.

"It will trigger a significant response," Biden replied.

"What does that mean?" asked Doocy.

"I'm not gonna tell you. Why would I tell you? You gotta be silly!" Biden responded.

"Remember how on last night's who I said that slapping is never ever the answer?" Colbert continued. "I'd like to file a one time exemption on behalf of the president of the United States."

Colbert's audience applauded the notion that Doocy deserved to be slapped. He went on to joke that Doocy might ask Biden what the nuclear launch codes were, and he received tepid laughter from the audience.

The liberal late night host was referring to the controversial slap movie star Will Smith gave to comedian Chris Rock during the Oscars awards ceremony.

The clip was a part of a longer exchange where Doocy challenged Biden on several recent gaffes that have put his competency into question. Among those was the claim that the U.S. would use chemical weapons in Ukraine if Russia used them first. The White House clarified that they would not use chemical weapons, but said a significant response would be made if Russia did first use chemical weapons in Ukraine.

Doocy has faced many rhetorical slings and arrows from the left because of his combative and challenging exchanges with Biden and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the policies of the administration.

I haven't watched any of the late night shows since Jay Leno was forced out. I can't stand any of those left on TV especially Koldburt

Peter Doocy is doing a great job. He may be the only outspoken conservative at the Biden press conferences.

I don’t watch any of them either. They’re all radicalized.

Snap Out of It! Biden Being Played
Posted Wednesday, March 30, 2022 | By AMAC, Robert B. Charles | 79 Comments

President Biden is being played by Russia and Iran. Watching is painful. The game is not complicated, just deadly – like watching a gorgeous tarantula approach, a black tiger snake slither, or a taste-testing water hemlock. Deals with Iran are deadly. Putin knows it; Biden misses it.

What is happening? Within days, unless stopped by Congress, Biden is likely to announce negotiators in Vienna have a deal with Iran. Liberal outlets will glow, suggesting an end to Iran’s nuclear program (wrong) and peace in our time (wrong).

Biden will trumpet success, inking a worthless deal with Iran’s repressive, radical Islamic terror state. Can it get worse? Yes.

The deal’s four corners are simple. Biden wants to restore a one-sided accord Obama signed with Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, which then converted from a “treaty” (Senate ratification) to a mere agreement. That deal lets Iran advance nuclear weapons but delayed the process in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars and lifting economic sanctions.

Trump scotched the non-treaty, reimposed severe sanctions (“maximum pressure”), hobbling the Iranian economy, slowing nuclear weapons development, undercutting Iranian terror and military finance. So serious were sanctions that Iran’s oil was taboo, and Iran sank into recession.

Iran’s GDP was – after the Obama-Biden deal – was 12 percent (2015). After Trump’s reimposition of sanctions – it dropped to minus 9 percent (2019). Suddenly, Iran was in trouble.

The repressed Iranian people were motivated by US condemnation of Iran’s brutal regime. From 2017 through 2020, they protested. The Islamic regime – Biden’s deal partner – imprisoned, tortured, and slaughtered the protestors, k*****g 1,500 in 2019 alone. See, e.g., 2018–2019 Iranian general strikes and protests; 2019–2020 Iranian protests.

The prior deal was an unmitigated disaster, just as reimposed sanctions were to Iran. Now, Biden wants to re-up that deal. Why? Partly ego, another motivation – is cheap oil.

Biden clamped down on US oil and national gas production to mollify his anti-f****l f**l political base. Then Russia invaded Ukraine, and he was compelled to cut Russian oil imports. To top this, accelerating inflation from federal overspending has put US gas on a wild run.

Gas at the pump is six dollars a gallon in some states, headed higher. Heating fuel oil is up, drilling, fracking, refining, and t***sporting of oil and gas down. This is Biden’s doing.

How does that relate to a new Iran deal? First, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members have little regard for Biden, so appeals for more oil from them went unanswered.

Caught out, Biden thinks a deal with Iran – lifting sanctions – could give him cheap oil. Reprehensible on its face, that deal would open the door to nukes for Iran, up-fund terror, diss longtime US allies like Saudi, stiff-arm US energy producers, and barely affect prices.

The kicker: What no one dares say, is this deal is Russia and Iran playing Biden. What now rivets the world? What united NATO, has the world aghast, a free nation at war, refugees pouring out of that nation by the millions?

Of course, Putin invaded Ukraine, k*****g civilians, threatening chem-bio and tactical nuclear weapons. Putin and his inner circle, many fleeing, getting arrested, or (in the military) k**led, is increasingly isolated, politically and economically.

Russia is economically isolated by Western sanctions, specifically on Russia’s oil. Russia’s number one export is oil, at $142 billion dollars last year. They were the world’s top exporter. See, e.g., Here’s where Russian oil flows.

Now think. Why would Russia suddenly – two weeks ago – lift objections to the US-Iran deal, permitting sanctions to be lifted on Iran’s sale of oil to the West? What is Putin thinking?

Simple. If Iran is allowed back on global oil markets without sanctions, the US will buy Iranian oil. Iran then becomes a conduit for the resale of Russian oil, allowing Russia to skirt sanctions.

Bottom line: Russia wants the US-Iran deal, so they can skirt anti-oil sanctions reselling oil through Iran. Iran gets the mark-up, resells Russian oil to the West, including the US.

Is this not sick – but true? How can Americans let Biden claim moral high ground with economic sanctions on Russia while opening the door to the resale of Russian oil through Iran?

Biden’s hypocrisy crosses every bright line, should be halted. Americans should not help Iran build a nuclear weapon, finance terror, or resell Russian oil – thus financing Russian terror.

How do we stop the charade? First, talk about it. Second, pressure Congress to stop it, block the deal. Third, pressure Congress and Biden to reopen US energy production. Fourth, get real: If Russia is wrong – and they are – we should not be filling cars with Russian oil via Iran.

Biden is being played. He needs to snap out of it. Americans need to say, no deal.

Liberals are not intelligent enough to recognize real comedy. It takes intelligence and a quick sharp mind to recognize good comedy. To find out if a stranger is a liberal just tell'm a good joke. If they just look at you with a puzzled look on their face then they're a ****ing liberal. Donald Trump has a very good sense of humor because he'z intelligent and has a sharp mind....Biden..or Harris---tell'm a joke and see how they will react. But of course Harris will giggle at anything.

LOL

No fair asking tough questions.

Does Colbert actually believe that Biden has the active numbers to launch a nuclear attack.?....Ridiculous!

Weasel Loc: In the Great State Of Indiana!!

Doocy will fight and Give No Quarter to any Socialist Democrat.

Oldsailor65 Loc: Iowa

I agree with everything that is in this post, it is logical....Too Badin and the rest of the stupid liberals aint smart to understand it!!!

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

I doubt Biden is aware of the military aid carrying "The Football," everywhere he goes...even to the ice cream shop.

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

No doubt.

It was a legitimate question. FACT.

To expect this terrorist,honorless regime to hold to any agreement is laughable. They're going to get a nuke just as fast as they can. Once they do, I expect the Israelis will deal with them. The result will not be pretty. The big loser will be the Iranian people

Israel is stuck behind the eight ball with the Russian control of Syrian airspace and no direct route to Iran.
