Fire up the internet outrage machine, we’ve got another celebrity making jokes about a President!!!
Today the celebrity in the internet’s crosshairs is Stephen Colbert for making a joke many considered to be homophobic about our 45th President Donald Trump.
Monday night, during his monologue on The Late Show, Colbert took aim at Trump for his treatment of the host of Face the Nation John Dickerson.
There were numerous jokes and jabs lobbed at Trump throughout, but one line in particular really pissed off a lot of people.
This one…
“Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine. You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.”
Yikes. That was harsh.
Now all sorts of people are hammering away at their keyboards wanting CBS to fire Colbert and viewers to boycott his show.

Fire Stephen Colbert. The man is clearly unhinged and mentally unstable — too much crazy for a late night host— Steve 'Trump 2020' (@TheSteveKon) May 2, 2017

@CBS Why has not Colbert been fired? Is this how you want your network to be represented? Is that behavior acceptable in CBS? #firecolbert

#fireColbert he crossed the line, embarrassed CBS, and should be fired. Such rhetoric would never have been allowed directed toward Obama

Naturally, this being 2017, others hijacked the #FireColbert hashtag to troll those calling for Colbert’s head…

After reading these #FireColbert tweets, the terms "snowflake" and "triggered" now officially refer to Republicans.

#FireColbert really?? GOP pretends to be offended by a gay joke but voted for a VP who is all for electrocution of homosexuals.

I see #FireColbert is trending. I wonder if he'll suffer the same horrible fate that Starbucks and Hamilton suffered after their boycotts 😂

#FireColbert is the new #BoycottRogueOne. I'm sure it will be equally successful.
