Rosie O'Donnell Criticizes Trump Over Stephen Colbert Late Show Cancellation

Following CBS's announcement to end The Late Show, hosted by Stephen Colbert, President Donald Trump expressed his approval on Truth Social, celebrating Colbert's firing and predicting Jimmy Kimmel's next departure. Trump also previously threatened to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship, accusing her of being harmful to the country. In response, O'Donnell condemned Trump's attacks on free speech and comedy, emphasizing the importance of truth and criticizing his desire for blind loyalty rather than open discourse. She highlighted that Colbert and others courageously spoke out against the administration despite risks to their careers. The timing of CBS's decision raised suspicions of political influence, as Colbert had recently criticized Paramount Global's $16 million settlement with Trump, leading to calls for an investigation from fellow late-night hosts and the Writers Guild of America. O'Donnell further described Trump as mentally unstable in a TikTok video, questioning the future of voices opposing his administration amid these developments.
