He wasn't insulting homosexuality, he was insulting Trump.

He was emasculating trump by saying he did sexal favors to putin, both men that identify as heterosexual, it is the very definition of homophobia.

No, he wasn't. He didn't bring Trump's masculinity into question, only his loyalty to his country. Just because you fuck a guy doesn't inherently mean you're less of a man and that was never implied in the joke.

That's your hangup.

Is implying that straight people do gay things now homophobic? What planet are you on?

I've never seen Colbert's show, but all the clips I've seen online have all been Trump bashing. I mean yeah Trump sucks, but spice it up a little bit.

Having Obama, who really didn't give the talk show hosts much material to work with to mock him, is why Trump supporters don't remember that these guys ALWAYS do this with presidents that are easy to mock. It's simple humor because it's broadcast television and it's low hanging fruit because that's who these show are catered to. Obama was more the rarity of the former presidents. Maybe HW Bush is comparable. But W, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, all of them got roasted routinely.

Go watch old Johnny Carson if you want proof

It is if you're using it to insult him.

I don't see where the disconnect is here (other than it was said about Literally Hitler).

Johnny Carson never spent his whole monologue, for weeks at a time, on one president. And it isn't just Colbert, it is Oliver, Noah, Bee, Maher, and a slew of others.

Also you're talking about roasting, not "this guy is gonna get us killed and eat our babies and sucks off Putin". There is a difference. This is political commentary, not roasting.

Colbert - Political comic
Oliver - Political television show
Bee - Political television show
Noah - Political television show
Maher - Political television show

You don't see Fallon, O'Brien, Kimmel, or James Corden doing entire monologues about Trump, because that's not their shtick.
