Original Article Stephen Colbert’s Late Show monologue on Monday sparked a bit of a backlash recently, even going so far as to start the hashtag #FireColbert. While most tweeters are slamming the late-night host for his remarks against President Trump, some deemed his joke he made about POTUS and Vladimir Putin “homophobic.” Colbert went on the offensive during the show in question after Trump slighted CBS News reporter John Dickerson, whose interview was abruptly ended when he questioned Trump about his unconfirmed accusations of wiretapping. “Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine,” Colbert said amid a string of insults. “You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c–k holster.” The monologue itself fueled the #FireColbert campaign, but the last remark sparked an enraged wave on its own. EW reached out to CBS for comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaHwlSTqA7s https://twitter.com/Sweaternite/status/859719537792602112 https://twitter.com/tony123458/status/859730853680881665 https://twitter.com/CarlMatsx2/status/859729120736927744 https://twitter.com/angeleo/status/859720470781931523 https://twitter.com/zsazsagogrl/status/859492871820521472 https://twitter.com/therealcornett/status/859778855242018816 https://twitter.com/muhfeefees/status/859487905378693122 On the other side of this campaign are users calling out the apparent hypocrisy of #FireColbert for slamming Colbert as homophobic while supporting an administration that advocates decried for attacking LGBTQ rights. Actor George Takei tweeted, “Now the little right wing mushrooms want to #FireColbert because he made fun of the Troll King. Waaaa!” He added, “It’ll go as well as #BoycottHamilton,” referring to the call to shun the hit Broadway musical after the cast made a statement to Vice President Mike Pence following a show in New York. https://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/859720233132724224 “‘Homophobic’ on the headline of #FireColbert is a bit akward when Trumpsters tried boycotting Beauty & The Beast for gay character, LeFou,” one Twitter user wrote. Another tweeted, “The people requesting CBS #FireColbert don’t strike me as the type to march down Broadway carrying signs that say ‘End homophobic remarks.'” https://twitter.com/Gilluis_Perez/status/859720349864407040 https://twitter.com/sjredmond/status/859604617923055616 https://twitter.com/JayNelleGerv/status/859588761197432832 https://twitter.com/sgniddiGleinaD/status/859636946443923456 https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/859611260001890311

I dunno either but the better know a district interviews were always great. By far the funniest poo poo he's ever done. Now he's just boring as hell. Like he's trying to impersonate Letterman or something.

Do you say it as a compliment? fake edit: There's this woman I think is hot and totally want to bang but she's a cocksucker. That's a deal breaker for me.

He's not saying trump is bad because he sucks cocks. He's saying he's bad because he sucks putins cock. Not homophobic.

As a bisexual man whose mouth has indeed been used as a cock holster, I don't find this homophobic at all. I am surprised that they said "cock" on network tv though.

I think actually the phrase used was "only thing your mouth is good for is a cock holster" wasn't it? So really the insult is not that he sucks dicks, the insult is that although he is the President of the United States the only thing his mouth is good for is taking a dick.

The joke works because the GOP and Putin are super homophobic so it's fun to call them gay or accuse them of being closeted and watch them get upset. Duhhhh.
