Stephen Colbert Delivers Epic Rant On Fake News, Pizzagate, And Alex Jones: Grow The Fuck Up [VIDEO]

Via Raw Story:

Stephen Colbert Wednesday hammered the conspiracy theorists who rose to prominence during the 2016 election, suggesting Wikileaks, Alex Jones and Reddit trolls should “grow the f*ck up.” During a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host urged his viewers to refrain from getting their news from him, “because newsflash, this isn’t news,” before also urging them to refrain from getting their news from “some anonymous guy on social media.”

The Late Show host then tore into the conspiracy theory that prompted a North Carolina man to drive to Washington DC and pull his gun in a local pizza store, tracing the origin of “pizzagate” to “alt-right” articles culled from hacked DNC emails published through Wikileaks. Colbert then revealed that, at least “according to some folks on Reddit,” he’s a part of “pizzagate.”

“This is insane: I have no part in the ‘pizzagate conspiracy’—is what they want me to say,” Colbert joked, adding “Da Vinci chodes” found out he is “on the Clinton payroll.” Referring to a rant by renowned conspiracy theorist Alex Jones lamenting that late night shows are rehearsed, Colbert admitted, “you got me.”
