“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.”

    I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t think that Trump has anything resembling a plan. He reacts to events, minute by minute, generally in the most cruel and hateful way possible.

    He has plenty of advisors and backers who have coherent long-range plans, and they are making a disturbing amount of progress, but they’re hampered by Trump’s volatility and lack of focus. It also helps that those trying to define his agenda mostly have different interests.
