The Federal Communications Commission is scrutinizing Stephen Colbert’s vulgar joke about President Trump on “The Late Show” this week, according to Chairman Ajit Pai, and will consider a possible fine.
“I have had a chance to see the clip now and so, as we get complaints — and we’ve gotten a number of them — we are going to take the facts that we find, and we are going to apply the law as it’s been set out by the Supreme Courtand other courts, and we’ll take the appropriate action,” Pai said Thursday on Philadelphia radio station WPHT-AM.
On his late-night comedy show on CBS Monday, Colbert said of the president: “The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c— holster”
Colbert responded to criticism (#FireColbert trended on Twitter) Wednesday night with a qualified apology.
Supposed joke was vile and disgusting…does not belong on TV
Colbert should not be allowed on the air ever again, radio or TV!
Your dispicable Stephen Colbert shame on you. You should have some respect for the President Of The United States whether you like him or not I will never have any respect for a man that does not have any self respect for yourself much less for a man that deserves respect because he is our President. I didn’t like Obama but I had respect for the man while he was in office shame on you .
These people show hate for Trump thats beyond normal just pure evil pouring from their mouths not one day has gone by in last 4 years that we hear more hate thrown at Trump from MSM and Trump haters

Just like the Post below, what happened in America that there is NO RESPECT shown to Our President??? People like you who spew evil is exactly what’s causing the unrest and violence on our streets!! You should NEVER be allowed on television or Radio again, you are VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!
