Re: “Colbert doesn’t back off from zingers about Trump,” May 5 Review-Journal:
Stephen Colbert was not lobbing “zingers” at the president. He was reciting scripted homophobic rhetoric that was approved by the powers that be at CBS.
A comic from the New York/Hollywood axis using these words on a mainstream network broadcast is beyond what is acceptable in modern society. The thin veneer of sophistication has slipped and Stephen Colbert has revealed himself to be a weak, nasty man working at a network that condones this behavior.
Just imagine if he (or anyone else) had said this about Mrs. Clinton.
