Stephen Colbert has blasted President
Donald Trump in a defiant defense of Jimmy Kimmel as
Jimmy Fallon broke his silence over the
abrupt cancellation of the ABC host's late night show.
CBS' Colbert - whose
show will end in May after his own issues with President Trump - dedicated his Thursday monologue to free speech and Kimmel's team at ABC.
'This is blatant censorship,' Colbert said of Kimmel's ouster at the taping for the show, which is set to air later Thursday night.
He then blasted Trump as an 'autocrat' saying 'you cannot give [him] an inch.'
'Jimmy, I stand with you and your staff 100 percent.'
'Tonight, we are all
Jimmy Kimmel,' Colbert then declared.
He also said during a question-and-answer session ahead of his show that despite his own cancellation at CBS, the network which airs The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 'wouldn't have done this.
'Now, regardless of what you think, what has already been done and how that looks, this is weak.'
Comment:
They did it to themselves.
They could have chosen to be mainstream, but they chose to demonize half of the country instead.
Hate is not funny.
