“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.”

    Does he really expect them to act against their class interests? Does he really believe they will or can choose to do the right thing just for goodness’ sake?

    If so, maybe he’s not as clever as I’ve believed all this time.

    The headline should be changed to “Colbert discovers ruling class unity, surprising only himself”.

    I feel bad for liberals. Being liberal must be a terribly confusing condition.

    Go read Marx, kiddo!
