“You’re the ‘presi-dunce,’ but you’re turning into a real ‘prick-tator.’ [Donald Trump], you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine. You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign-language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.”That’s the kind of “comedy” we were subject to during Stephen Colbert‘s forgetful tenure as the host of The Late Show on CBS. Homophobic slurs? No problem. The far Left ate these angry screeds up, while media reporters such as Brian Stelter called Colbert’s offering “iconic” in a sycophantic story this week.“Colbert is signing off ‘The Late Show’ this week as CBS ends the iconic late-night TV franchise,” Stelter wrote for CNN. “Many ‘Late Show’ fans are disappointed, even angry, about the cancellation, doubting CBS’s rationale for the decision and believing that appeasement politics toward President Trump are at play.”
Stelter is one of many who are buying into this ridiculous narrative that President Donald Trump, after literally thousands of attacks from Colbert for more than a decade, suddenly ordered his show taken off the air.
