Colbert has no regrets: Late-night host defends controversial Trump Putin c*ck holster joke

[Dorian Gray]

23. I'm going to argue your point...

The reason why it the comment has the perceived shocking insult that it does is that both DT and Putin present themselves as the big Alpha hetero male.

So the idea that Trump's mouth is good for nothing other than for holding Putin's cock is shocking because a) that's obvious not alpha and b) for Trump to do so would mean he's "soooooo gay! OMGWTFBBQ!"

He's insulting Trump's manhood.

I don't think we get to tell anybody how they feel about the joke. Some people are offended. Some aren't. Comedy pushes boundaries and is often insulting.

Personally, I don't think Colbert should be fired, but I do think he should be open to hearing people's objections. He's essentially a good guy who has some ingrained prejudices (like most people), and to become a better person you listen to various POVs and feel empathy!
