Stephen Colbert confesses that he's 'not a legal expert,' but he knows that 'if [Kyle Rittenhouse] didn't break the law, we should change the law' [video]

We don’t know about you, but we really appreciate it when a liberal celebrity can break down important issues in a way that even we rubes can understand.

So thank you, Stephen Colbert, for eloquently summing up the lesson we should take away from the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict:

It’s interesting that Colbert didn’t end his train of thought at “I’m not a legal expert.” If he had, literally no intelligent person would have cause to question or disagree with him.

As it happens, quite a few people are taking issue with Colbert’s remarks. Apparently Colbert’s critics just don’t understand that even though Colbert admits to having no idea what he’s talking about, we’re all supposed to look to him for guidance.

Thank goodness he put his cards on the table. I thought he was a legal expert this whole time.

I’m not a legal expert…or an expert on anything but I’ll go against what a jury decided.

Of course, we were being sarcastic earlier. But there are actually real people out there who really believe in what Stephen Colbert tells them. They believe he’s an honest broker of information, and a highly knowledgeable one at that.

Abolish the 2nd Amendment and oh yeah you can't defend yourself either. An absolute cinderblock for a skull. https://t.co/81Lcm4Twh6

So rioters should be able to attack anyone they want, and the victims can't defend themselves? Something tells me @StephenAtHome wouldn't want that in HIS neighborhood. https://t.co/lLLWzQbDhg

Somebody should do a "Celebrities React to the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial" video. Like, make @StephenAtHome actually sit down and look at all the evidence the jury saw. I just want to see his face when he realizes how horribly, stupidly wrong he is.

It’s a nice idea, but would he ever admit to being wrong? He doesn’t seem like the type to own up to his own incompetence.

this is an insane line of lefty populist thought https://t.co/jKwC1MItUl

He's also not a trial watcher, obviously, nor serious about truly understanding the topic he's discussing. This is infuriating.
