Stephen Colbert has come under fire on social media for a crude joke he made about President Donald Trump on Monday’s broadcast of The Late Show that some critics claimed was bigoted and homophobic.
While attempting to defend his CBS colleague John Dickerson, Colbert said Trump’s mouth is only “good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c*ck holster.”
Outraged by the remark, social media users quickly made the hashtag #FireColbert a top trending topic on Twitter Tuesday.
“Colbert’s homophobic rant was disgusting and we won’t tolerate this anti-LGBTQ behavior,” one user wrote.
