Production crew for Stephen Colbert's"Late Show" detained in congressional building near U.S. CapitolSeveral members of a production crew for"The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" were detained Thursday night in a congressional office building near the U.S. Capitol, CBS said Friday. The group was filming a comedy segment when they were taken into custody, the company said.

After determining the group were not Congressional employees — and had been asked to leave the building earlier in the day — they were charged with unlawful entry. Police said a criminal investigation is ongoing and could lead to more charges.

And no one was sprayed with bear spray. No flag poles were used as weapons. No one died.

Who says Congress can’t take a joke. After all, many of them still love The Donald ! 🤡💩👿

With recording and video gear and who knows what else. Lacking permit, stayed several hours after hours and unescorted. Just who do these people think they are (besides a flank of Dem party)?

empireenjoyer10 Arrested. It's not that hard CBS. Want me to hold your hand?

Cut the crap, they were arrested not 'detained.' They broke the law and got charged with the same crime as most of the January 6 rioters.

This is a threat to our democracy

Detained? Not shot?

Insurrection. When are the hearings scheduled? Do we really have to keep them in solitary confinement for 18 months this time?

They were charged with unlawful entry. Police said a criminal investigation is ongoing and could lead to more charges.

How come they aren't in solitary confinement like the other J6 insurrectionists?

When tyranny came knocking on our door.

Insurrection. Who let them in? Will colbert be fired for his role in the illegal activity? Will Congress hold a special committee to investigate? Did the staffers plant bugs or other devices while unsupervised?

Insurrection, Watergate

More Insurection! Just atrocious!

The Capitol Police probably let them in as well.

Not funny StephenAtHome, better choice to film elsewhere. Congress and the Capitol still PTSD from January 6 insurrection, no sense in being disrespectful for the sake of a 'funny' satirical segment

ColbertInsurrection

Make sure they are locked up in solitary confinement for their insurrection to threaten Congress. No bail, no visitors except lawyers. At least for one year.

Answer the real question Americans want to know. Did the get the picture of the golden eagle sconce or not?

“Detained”? Really? Are you Liberals here going to stick with that to paint this for your Leftist Sheep? It’s okay. You can use the word “ARRESTED”! 👇👇

A group of homegrown terrorists called the Meek Boys led by Stephen Colbert & Adam Schiff tried to overthrow the US government.

WenMaMa2 So creepy. We are watching the Jan 6th on the news and now these people do the same thing. Is this the new trend?

Breaking into a federal building to further a political stance. Hmmm. Sounds kinda like insurrection

Insurrection.

Were they kept in solitary confinement for years for committing an insurrection?

Insurrection!

Release their names immediately

franmudm They were arrested and charged with trespassing. Why don’t you tell the truth fake news.

Well they need to go to jail for at least 17 months. This was an insurrection.

Arrested, not detained. MSM twisting the narrative again.

They had permission to film there. This is the kind of crap that makes Americans distrust law enforcement. Stop this sh*t

OMG THEY'RE CENSORING LIBERAL VOICES. We really need to fatuously whine more.

The Terror of Comedy. Repress it and suppress it, only allowed in Congress.

2 years minimum in max security. That’s what J6 got that’s what they get.

They turned in there badges before they left.

They were arrested and released, the officers didn’t know who they who they were at the time even they were to by the people, that they were leaving. They were notified that they were part of the crew. And had permanently to be there, and was just leaving.

Insurrectionists entered the building illegally after the police previously removed them. The mob of insurrectionists were preying on female Congresswoman at their offices on the sixth floor.

They’ve always said January 6 was a test run!

how much you wanna bet they deliberately pretended to not know him && perceived him as a 1st amendment auditor just to flex their astronomical ego’s 👀

Apparently Triumph spoke some very politically incorrect things about the LGBT+ people and then denounced the Fearless Leader of Woketopia then questioned the 2020 Election Reports say that Triumph is being held Seditious Conspiracy to deface a Building BY POOPING ON IT

Detained my ass. They were taken to jail. Detained is when a Police Officer stop someone for speeding and writes you a ticket. Just like lame stream media try to lesson the effect, of a fact that shouldn't have happened.

Insurrection.. hope Nancy prosecutes THEM.. we’re not safe…🤣oh wait..liberal Privilege…

They sb frog marched to solitary confinement

Insurrection! Are they in solitary confinement? When do the hearings start?

The Audacity of Knocking on Republican doors for interviews.

Triumph can do no wrong.

Sounds like an insurrection to me.

And nothing will be done to these insurrectionists because they are on the right side of the fence. And everybody knows it.

That's not good

Insurrection I expect hourly tweets about this existential threat to our democracy. Colbert etal are complicit. You made the rules.

They weren't detained they were arrested haha

They were arrested! Not just detained

Loudermilk was busy giving tours to new domestic terrorists.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

colbertlateshow There. Finally.

DemocRATs and More Hoaxes And Russian collusion Shit

Insurrection!!

Insurrection!!

Worst attack on America since 9/11!

Detained? They better be in jail under terrorism charges.
