“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night called CBS’s denial of his claim that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico “crap” — and urged the network and its parent, Paramount Skydance, to stand up to the “bullies” in the Trump administration.
Colbert’s broadside came hours after CBS issued a statement on the controversy.
The host, whose show will end in May as it was canceled by CBS, held up a printed copy of the network’s statement about Talarico’s interview during his show Tuesday night and said, “I don’t even know what to do with this crap.”
I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t think that Trump has anything resembling a plan. He reacts to events, minute by minute, generally in the most cruel and hateful way possible.
He has plenty of advisors and backers who have coherent long-range plans, and they are making a disturbing amount of progress, but they’re hampered by Trump’s volatility and lack of focus. It also helps that those trying to define his agenda mostly have different interests.
Well someone has a plan.
