Stephen Colbert conducts a master class in pushing back against Trump and his bullies

Liz Dye reports:
On Monday night, the Trump administration made a hefty in-kind donation to a Senate candidate in Texas. But the beneficiary wasn’t incumbent Sen. John Cornyn or even his scandal-plagued challenger, Attorney General Ken Paxton. In fact, it wasn’t a Republican at all. 
This slug of earned media went to Democrat James Talarico, who made front-page news after CBS refused to air his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. 
On his show, Colbert said he’d been “told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast." 
“Let’s just call this what it is. Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV. Okay?” Colbert riffed. “He’s like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diapers.”
