The far-left Stephen Colbert on Wednesday offered this nasty reasoning as to why North Korea shouldn’t launch nuclear weapons against Guam: The people there didn’t vote for Donald Trump. The panicky Late Show host blamed the President for the situation: “Donald Trump saw their threat of apocalypse and raised them one armageddon.”
He then implored Kim Jong-un: “Look, North Korea, leave Guam out of this! They're a U.S. territory. That means they don't participate in the elections!” He whined, “They didn't vote for Trump. Just like most Americans!”
So, if a red state was being threatened, it would be okay? (For instance, Colbert’s home state of South Carolina went for Trump 55-40 in 2016.)
On Tuesday night, Colbert yelled at Trump: “Shut up!... You’re going to get us all killed!” On July 24, he condemned the President’s “moral heresy” for giving a political speech to the Boy Scouts.
Clearly, the CBS host views Trump as more of a threat than the belligerent, unstable dictator of North Korea.

COLBERT: And Trump's message of "Don't threaten us or we will rain down fire and fury" was so intimidating that North Korea immediately threatened a missile strike on the U.S. territory of Guam. Look, North Korea, leave Guam out of this! They're a U.S. territory. That means they don't participate in the elections! Okay? They didn't vote for Trump. Just like most Americans!
