Old Claire Danes Clip With Colbert Goes Viral for What It Reveals About Intel Community, Trump
2024-12-30
[RS] An intriguing video from Feb. 2018 went viral over the weekend and had a lot of folks on the right talking because of something that actress Claire Danes said to talk show host Stephen Colbert and how he immediately interjected and changed the subject. When you hear it, you'll understand why.

Danes was sharing about how her "Homeland" show went to something of a weeklong "spy camp" because they knew someone in the CIA. There in Georgetown, they met actual "spooks," people in the State Department, and journalists. Colbert asked her, what was the most surprising thing that she learned from that experience?

Danes said every year it was different, but that year it was "all about the distrust between the [Trump] administration and the intelligence world, and the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which usually they're not..."

It was at that point that Colbert interjected and deflected to another point about when they had started shooting the season's episodes.

#5  And then there's the clip of little Chuckie Schumer, further down in the article, with his famous statement about how the intel community has "six ways from Sunday at getting back at you", one of the most chilling and sinister statements I've ever heard.

#4  How does a comedian like Colbert get to be so sensitive about such matters? Is it because he's really not a comedian and is, in fact, something else?
