Colbert is silent after facing #firecolbert backlash over Trump joke - The Washington Post

THE TIFFANY WAY... President Trump has, for months, been the target of Stephen Colbert’s pointed jokes and mockery. But many on social media believe the “Late Show” host went too far Monday night in making an oral sex joke regarding Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. #FireColbert was trending on Twitter Wednesday morning. There’s a new Twitter account called @firecolbert. Its first tweet: “It’s time to #FireColbert! It’s time he be removed from CBS. Let your voice be heard! #Boycott all of Stephen Colbert’s advertisers.” There’s also a new website, firecolbert.com.
