Stephen Colbert just can’t help himself. When President Trump pointed out Chicago’s rampant crime problem, the late-night hack spat back with a juvenile and unhinged “F you,” pretending to speak for the city’s beleaguered residents. It’s classic liberal celebrity — cozy in their bubble, refusing to acknowledge painful realities unless it fits their narrative. That’s the problem with the left: they’d rather silence truth with foul language than face the disaster they’ve created in America’s gun-soaked urban hellholes.
Colbert tried to muddy the waters by cherry-picking a list of cities with higher murder rates than Chicago. Sounds impressive until you dig a little deeper — those “higher rate” cities often have tiny populations or vastly different social dynamics. Chicago, with nearly three million souls, ranks near the top in raw violence and sheer body count every year. Newsweek itself put Chicago eighth in its murder rankings just last year. So much for Colbert’s fact-checking skills. The comedian conveniently ignores that serious violence is a daily threat in a city that the Democratic Party has left to rot.

And here’s the kicker — Chicago is the proud host of this year’s Democratic National Convention. What a stunning irony. The party that claims to care about “social justice” and “community safety” celebrates in a city where families fear walking their streets after dark. Eleven years calling Chicago home, yet Colbert can joke about bodies piling up like it’s a punchline. For him, it’s just a backdrop to his late-night monologues. But for ordinary Americans, it’s real blood, real loss, a testament to decades of left-wing failure.
Everything about this screams liberal hypocrisy. They scream “systemic racism” to explain away crime while doubling down on policies that tie the hands of law enforcement. They push open borders and sanctuary cities that funnel more criminal elements into already fragile communities. Then their celebrity mouthpieces yell at anyone who dares to spotlight these issues—especially if that someone is Donald Trump, who actually tries to address them. It’s sad, but true: the left would rather protect their “woke” image than protect innocent lives.
Here’s the truth: no amount of Colbert tantrums can erase — American cities are drowning in crime because Democrats refuse to back real solutions. They pander to radical activists while condemning those who want law and order. Chicago is a warning sign. But as long as the media and Hollywood elites keep smearing anyone who tells it like it is, the carnage will continue. So let’s ask again: who’s really failing the people here — the president who points out the problem or the leftist clowns who pretend it doesn’t exist?
