Soon enough, Stone, unable to convince Colbert or his audience that he was not Putin’s lackey, tried to shift the talk to Israel.
The source told Page Six they “watched from behind [their] hands” as Stone claimed, more or less, that “Israel had far more involvement in the US election than Russia,” challenging Colbert: “Why don’t you ask me about that?” to which the ever-nimble host responded, “I’ll ask you about that when you make a documentary about Israel.”
Stone was obviously pulling the old anti-Israel, leftist line about how AIPAC is controlling Washington (much the way the “Jews” control Hollywood) – and in his haste to save face apparently forgot the difference between contributing to political campaigns and hacking DNC computers.
