Fox anchor Bret Baier raised eyebrows on Wednesday during an appearance on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ during which he claimed that that the January 6th Capitol riot was a ‘dark day’ for the US.

Baier went on to compare the events of January 6th to those of 1876.

As The Hill reports:

Baier appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Wednesday to promote his new book on former President Ulysses S. Grant, which opens with the Jan. 6 riot in 2021.

“And in 1876, which was really the climax of this book, Grant as president makes a grand bargain and holds the country together as an election is contested. Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina refuse to move electors up, so he does this grand bargain with Republicans and Democrats to hold everything together.”

Baier likened that post-Civil War crisis in American electoral politics to the 2020 presidential election, which he said was “another election where there were people very upset about it.”

“And that moment, that chaos, that dark day up in Washington is similar to what we saw in 1876,” Baier said.

The Capitol attack instigated former President Trump’s second impeachment trial which resulted in a second acquittal.

  1. Baier is just one more CATHOLIC TRAITOR. ALL CATHOLICS are traitors. They are led by Biden, CATHOLIC TRAITOR.

    1. I no longer watch Chris Wallace or Brit baier. They both are lackeys of dementia Joe Biden. “F***” Fox News

          1. come out into the public, you have been hiding in your mommy’s apron too long. a rope is your answer.

      1. God is not mocked! Be very careful ! You seem to be a very sour person possibly once the victim of a Catholic Priest

    2. Watch your mouth, boy. I am practicing Catholic, and will bet anything that I am more patriotic conservative American than you can ever dream to be.

          1. I wanna see Albert try to have sex with my Kimber. Ah-Oh! Sorry, Albert, my Kimber doesn’t like That idea AT ALL. It’s demanding to Shoot yer’ Sick Ass right between the eyes INSTEAD!

      1. Adonis, I’m with you. All the Catholics I know, are against Biden and this Administration. Including me and my family. Alfie has a lot to learn. He must be getting his information from CNN.

    3. You need to be dragged out back and beat with a stick. Then locked up in a mental institution for the rest of your life.

    4. Dude, Seriously, you need better living through chemistry or some regression therapy. Your priapism over Catholocism is a bit psychotic to say the least. Which church do you go too? I want to stay far away from that collective group of squirrels.

    1. 👍 TOTALLY.
      AND, What we GOT in the steal is a completely immoral, lifelong Crooked, MultiMillionaire TRAITOR.
      It’s ALL quite UNbelievable. And yet it Happened.

        1. who is a billionaire? But tell me how did pedo joey bioy make millions when he has just been a lying public employee all his usless life. How can anybody in their right ming support a pathetic, constant liar like biden… Google: youtube biden lying and see all the examples… and you support that? Oh, I get it you lie all the time too, right?

      1. Quite unbelievable ,and yes Hess he is a billionaire plus he has passed a lot of ill gotten gain to lots of family just like piglosi.

    2. And that’s a fact there is proof but no one wants to listen to it or even investigate it our whole system in Washington is severely broken

    3. And though the insurrection was engineered by old Nanc, there are still patriots in jail who were framed. And Antifa, BLM and the rest of the Soro’s brownshits wald free! The FBI and DOJ aren’t even looking for or tracking them. And USA citizens must be vaccinated while the illegal aliens are let in without a blink by this lousy dimwit nitwit administration.

      Are we ready for a war against these criminal usurpers yet? It’s patriots against the lemmings of the dimwits. Or as Cicero talked of traitors, OUR ENEMY WITHIN. The very same type of criminals who took Rome down centuries ago and brought about the DARK AGES!

      1. Yessir…. it is Indeed…. THAT Critical.
        SOMEthing has GOT to be Done…. SOON.
        NOW we don’t even have the backing and support of Half or MORE of the Republicans in office…. and it is Only going to further erode and get more difficult as time passes and more of ‘the people’ become “infected”.

        1. When you don’t have the support of half of the Republicans you are a loser.
          That is why Trump’s White House is in Jersey

      2. We’ve lost one potent ‘weapon’ that could weaken or even destroy our enemies: The Media. A Free Press is a powerful resource for Americans to keep abreast of our government’s activities, while exposing corruption, and identifying tyrants. We’re also a divided nation–a known ploy of Marxists to create dissent between cultural elements. The 2nd Amendment was ratified as the last resort for American citizens to remove government officials–by force, if necessary–who threaten our rights and freedoms. Numb Nuts is demonstrating his disdain for our Constitution, and it’s time to demonstrate our disdain for him.

    4. Dan-you said it! Dark conspiracy, set up, with Capital police complicit. A few Trump nots! and yes a few naïve, jacked up by months of national lawlessness and stupidity Trump supporters. Only tragedy is Ashli Babbitt’s wrongful death. No Jan 6 Capital riot, just liberal media hierocracy. In 10 truthful words you said it all Dan. thank you

      1. Babbit was stupid.
        She thouht the cop did not have the balls to stand his ground.
        She paid the ultimate sacrifice for her stupidity.

        1. If stupidity are the grounds to be killed? Why are Democrats still throughout Washington? How does Maxine Waters get the popular vote? What angers me is why Republicans/Conservatives are allowing all this destruction to Our Country continue? This Country won’t survive to 2022 mid terms! Look at what Biden’s Administration has been able to accomplish in just 6 months. I can’t see how a war is not inevitable with someone!

          1. It is because Republicans are weak grabbed pussies.
            I am looking forward to war.
            Justified shooting of Americans.
            May Liberal blood flow in the streets.
            We need a new crop of war heros to replace our now disgraced Civil War heros.

    1. Yup, Baier went WEENIE on us. Might as well be Brian “the Asshole” Williams sitting there. VERY Disappointing to say the Least.
      ALL that day lacked was about 10 Million people; just a Complete WALKOVER “Sorry but yer’ ass is GONE” Overthrow.

    2. if the Capital Police??? hadn’t let the demonstrators in it would never have escalated…well said Bug D

      1. The Capitol Police were there to keep the demonstrators from coming in.
        Like most law enforcement they did a piss poor job.
        One of the crimminals died on the scene.

  2. Bret Baier turned Democrat!!!!😡 I turn FOX off when he comes on after The Five! Sad days for America! Only Carlson, Hannity, Ingram, Judge Janine, Jesse Waters, Dana Petrino, Dan Bongino & Greg Gutfeld are true conservative patriots who love America

    1. You got it! Thank God for those you mentioned. The Dumbing Down of this country is UNBELIEVABLE. Right in lock step with the moral decay. We’ve become just another warped, debauched shithole country___ a veritable Freak show of Godless mutant life forms. SO Tragic!

  3. Good Morning well I’ll tell you alfie I’m a Catholic and not a trader but one thing I can say is your a Jerkoff in plain english if you knew anything about history letting you know that jan 6th wasn’t the first time people rose up to a election results that didn’t make sense get aquited with history J O

  4. Hes another idiot another conservative bullshit artist actual demacrat saying he’s conservative but he’s not another elitist

  5. BLM and Antifa rioting,attacking innocent people, murdering, looting, destroying vehicles, forcing businesses to close, burning buildings, and basically terrorizing the country was ok with you.Go to hell with your agenda, you POS.

    1. Yes, they ALL should have been Mowed Down like the EVIL SCUM that they ARE, but Noooooo, not in THIS F’ed Up Society we’ve got Today. We’ve didn’t the last 25 years or more Protecting the SCUM amongst us, the Criminal.
      SCUM ushers in MORE Scum___ it’s ALL just the Natural Deterioration of ANY Society.
      RULES are put in force for a Reason.
      Become Lenient….. become Extinct.
      Real Simple….. LIBERALISM KILLS.
      ALWAYS Has….. ALWAYS Will.

  6. Check the DNA, Mike Wallace, Chris Wallace and Brett Baer. Tony Snow and Bret Hume were friends of mine….Brett Baer is no Snow or Hume. He may be auditioning for a “60 Minutes” seat.

    1. You GOT IT. Snow and Hume, truly GOOD people! “Christians”. Baier’s a twink ass FAKE.
      “Mr, Proper”, Serious Choir Boy, ‘oh, aren’t I just the most Decent’ Bozo.
      Sorry, Bret…. you’re a DICK.

    1. Yup, sure says it All for Me.
      The whole DAMNED (literally) World is a Sell Out to Secularism.
      HOW CAN I BE THE MOST POPULAR? HOW CAN I GET THE LAUGHS? HOW CAN I MAKE THE MOST MONEY? Colbert makes me gag and 🤮; thinks he’s just SOOOO Intelligent and Fair and RIGHT about Everything! He’d pull his pants down in a crowd to get a laugh if he had to. SCUM like he and Jimmy Kimmel are Truly the SMARTASS GENERALS of a SICK society.

      1. God Damn Secularism.
        Why are there no rich Conservative comedians?
        Conservatives have no sense of humor?
        They take themselves seriously?

  7. LISTEN UP….GOD Still Says PREZ TRUMP Did NOT Get a FAIR ELECTION and DEREK CHAUVIN Did NOT Get a FAIR TRIAL. GOD is the TRUTH. I STAND By GOD’S Word. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  8. Why is it that these “dark day” advocates neglect to raise the issue of all of the voying “irregularities” that occurred throughout the country? It was these “irregularities by Democrats and never Trump Republicans that caused 1/6/21. All of these “irregularities should be investigated and the initiators jailed if found guilty.

    1. Naivety. Dumbness. Stupidity. They don’t “want” to think or believe that something SO FOUL and SO WRONG, so very CORRUPT, is actually taking place right here in their precious United States.
      THAT and the fact that Donald Trump SCARES WAY too many people. He’s TOO bombastic. He comes across as that “loose cannon” that we all fear that could do something irrationally BAD. He has NEVER been what Anybody would call a Nice, GOOD person. The average person in today’s World…. the average American…. isn’t SMART enough to look beyond the man’s shortcomings, his faults, and Realize that he is VERY Intelligent, KNOWS how to Do things and get things Done in this World, and that he Truly IS looking out for the health and well being of the United States of America FIRST.

      We are Now in ONE HECKUVA PREDICAMENT WITH ALL OF THE OUTRIGHT CORRUPT POLITICIANS THAT ARE IN THE GAME TO AMASS PERSONAL WEALTH AND POWER.

  9. “dark day” according to the liberal piece of garbage. He is a huge part of the deep state. He showed his colors on election night. He is bought and paid for by the democrats and FOX brass. When people start going down for their treachery he should be one of the first.

    1. ALL of the sick assholes that ACT very “professional”. Tom Brokaw is the CLASSIC Exemplar of the type.
      They are a bunch of Empty, Stuffed “suits”. They HAVE NO Righteousness, NO Christian values. They are Spineless, Backboneless NOTHINGS. They are “Anything Goes” Liberal SHIT. Then when a society goes straight to Hell all around them, they don’t Get It and are left wondering just WHY.

  10. Baier is an anti-Trump dimoKKKrat collaborator, if not a treasonous dimoKKKrat himself.
    Never watch the quisling, and damn sure woudn’t buy any book he wrote.

    1. You got THAT right! He’s nothing but an EMPTY SUIT. ‘Oh, I’m Mr. Decorum. Mr. Proper.’

      NO, Bret, you’re an Unintelligent NOTHING.

  11. It was a dark day for America; Joe Biden was installed as President! And, oh yeah,some yahoos and Marxist operatives vandalized the government property

  12. Has anyone checked how many of his original viewers have him and fox news. His numbers are very low. He is no longer the wonder boy of fox news. He wishes to be another Mike Wallace. Good luck Bret.

  13. At the core of Baier’s comment is that nasty little fact that he’s got to tow a new-ish company dictate that seeks to keep Mr. Trump not just at arms’ length but in a box that he’ll only open for purposes that support a particular story line. Since Murdoch the elder isn’t running the corporation the board (with traitors of the ilk of Paul Ryan), are going to keep moving FOX News toward a left of center path…if they’re not there already. Add to that, Baier’s selling a book…if his comment helps the bottom line there, well, he’s not the first and he won’t be the last…..

  14. So it’s a dark day when a group of people who were invited in by law enforcement protest relatively quite except for a few imbedded liberals breaking windows? Seriously? The dems seem to forget what happened all summer long in these weak pathetic cities as there were murders, looting and burning! Seems to be a quiet talking point for the democrats !

  15. January 6th, 2021 the day that the DEMONcRATS continue to whip like a dead horse (I guess they have to since they can’t beat their slaves anymore). Was it an Insurrection? A Coup? Or was it just a Kegger that got to rowdy? Because of the three choices, #3 is the winner.

    Now we find, that those fun loving sociopaths over at Langley, were up to their armpits in making sure this Fart of a Riot took place (I thought those two pipe Bombs looked right off of the page 13 in the Federal Bureau of Incompetents’ Cookbook).

    Oh what a tangled web we weave, when the Governments Operatives Stir the Schitpot.

    Trump was wrong about one thing. DC isn’t a Swamp. DC is a Septic Tank and you never know which Turd’s going to float up.

  16.  Bret Baier is doing his best to sell his cheap book, which I can tell already is not wotth the paper it is written on. Just another idiot trying to make more money. Anybody that buys it, well you should probably be reading comic books. You would get more out of that comic book. More truth, more real life experiences, and the comic book is more ethical… Baier is just anothe waste of air…. that little protest was nothing. He is one of those cowards that would be running behind mommy peeing in his pant if a 3 yr old kid had a cap gun and was playing war with that idiot.

  17. He seems to have turned his back as well on truth? far from being a dark day, it was an extremely enlightening day. White Hats got hold of Nancy Pelosi’s lap top proving her treason. All her colluding with CCP and planning and plotting the January 6th storming of the Capital Building by BLM and Antifa all dressed as white hats (MAGA) who arrived in busloads half an hour before President Trump and the patriots walked peacefully to the Capital. She ran out teh room and left her laptop. Full on evidence! Only a dark day for all who colluded?

  18. The January 6th “riot” was a protest demonstration infiltrated by organized outside thugs to inflict exactly the chaos needed to discredit the entire protest.

  19. Wonder if the fool had a problem when BLM tried to breach the White House fence and injured numerous secret service agents and caused the President and his family to have to be moved to a safe space for which they were laughed at by those that crapped their pants over a bunch of people mostly walking around taking selfies.

  20. I am very dissappointed in him to say that crap! He knows better. Another Fox member crumblin under pressure??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
