Stephen Colbert is smart enough to know not to do this. This is virtue signaling of the highest form, and he’s doing it for ratings. Very dangerous. IGNORE HER https://twitter.com/nicolehockley/status/1355240901845594112

“Holy haul ‘em to The Hague, Batman. She’s not even trying to be discreet,” Colbert said in response. “At least mobsters use coded language.”

I spent years working at a progressive think tank that runs a blog. They put out lots of good content, but also get clicks based on tsk-tsk’ing - and then the people they mock raise millions on the PR coverage.
