Stephen Colbert Sings the Ballad of Racist Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy (Video)

Colbert clarifies Bundy’s remarks about slavery

Stephen Colbert is one conservative who hasn’t abandoned Cliven Bundy, the armed Nevada rancher who doesn’t believe in the federal government — and happens to have some crazy ideas about African-Americans.

Fox News personalities, among others, touted Bundy as a kind of folk hero after he refused to pay federal grazing fees, despite his cattle grazing on federal land. Gun-toting supporters came to his ranch to help protect him from the government. Sean Hannity repeatedly interviewed him on “Hannity.”

“By bravely standing against the forces of paying bills, Bundy became a hero to conservatives like Sean Hannity, who turned Bundy’s 10-gallon hat all the way up to 11,” Colbert said.
