3) Fox is told the team tried weeks ago to get credentials for the 1/6 committee hearings. The House Radio/TV Gallery rejected the request from the Colbert team out of hand because they are not “news.”

5) That said, the team could be in the office buildings if they were invited. And, in fact they were. Fox is told the Colbert team conducted interviews earlier in the day Thursday with 1/6 committee members Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Stephanie Murphy (D-FL).

7) However, the Colbert group left the House office buildings at some point. Fox is told they were let back into the Longworth House Office Building sometime after 4 pm et by an aide to Auchincloss. The reason: the aide believed the Colbert group had other interviews to do.

They aren't worth a bucket of warm spit.
Martha, they aren't worth a drop of warm urine!!!!!!!!!!
Why should the Colbert team even think they have a right to Press Credentials? They are not a news organization and just like Colbert don't even know how to conduct an interview. He is the absolute most stupid inanae late night host there is. And then they are "let" into the tghe Congressional offices. Sounds to me like the insurrectionists aided by the de"mock"rat party. Throw them in jail and hold them without bail just like they did with the J6 protestors.
