Yesterday, thousands and thousands of people marched in what was described on Facebook as a “Bridge to Peace Unity Chain” across the Ravenel Bridge.

There were an estimated 10,000+ marchers, and some people in attendance noticed Colbert’s presence:

That piece of shit helped create the very climate that this murderer used to foster his hate and now he pretends to be in unity with the community. Give me s break.

Hats off to Colbert much respect.
