Defiant Stephen Colbert Fires Back At Trump With 3 Extremely Blunt Words

The network censors at CBS needed a hand on the bleep button on Monday night as “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert responded to President Donald Trump.

Trump last week sent a message celebrating the news that Colbert’s show had been canceled. While CBS said it was “purely a financial decision,” many believe the network caved to political pressure as its parent company attempts to complete a massive merger.

Trump wrote on Truth Social: “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.”

“How dare dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?” Colbert asked, then delivered a three-word response to the president that required a strategic bleep: “Go fuck yourself.”
