Here's Stephen Colbert's Response to the #CancelColbert
Controversy  In his first show since Twitter activists called
for his cancellation, Stephen Colbert devoted an entire segment
to the #cancelcolbert hashtag that blew up last week. The
controversy was ignited by an out-of-context tweet from the
Colbert Report Twitter account, which isn't controlled by
Colbert himself.  Watch Colbert distance himself from the
offensive tweet, remind everyone that he's a satirist, and
circle back to the point he was trying to make—whether
successfully or not—with his original sketch. To wit: Washington
Redskins owner Dan Snyder is a racist jerk ("which Twitter seems
to be fine with, because I haven't seen shit about that,"
Colbert says).    [Photo Credit: Colbert Report/Comedy Central]
