'Jeff, Do You Even Care?': Hannity Blasts CNN President for Anti-Trump Bias
Stephen Colbert went after President Trump Monday night in a scathing monologue which culminated with the "Late Show" host issuing an "apology" for Trump having become president.
The comedian mocked a recent Trump tweet in which the president demanded an apology in light of new reports about the Obama administration failing to act on Russia's election meddling.

The real story is that President Obama did NOTHING after being informed in August about Russian meddling. With 4 months looking at Russia...

..under a magnifying glass, they have zero "tapes" of T people colluding. There is no collusion & no obstruction. I should be given apology!

"I'm a big enough man to apologize," Colbert responded.
"And I believe I speak for the majority of Americans when I say this: I'm sorry you're president," he said to raucous cheers.
Earlier in the monologue, Colbert mocked Trump for referring to himself as "T" in other recent tweets.
Since the Obama Administration was told way before the 2016 Election that the Russians were meddling, why no action? Focus on them, not T!

"Who the hell is 'T'? he asked, showing a photo-shopped "new presidential photo" of the president looking like Mr. T.
Colbert has blasted Trump consistently on his show, including in a widely-criticized monologue last month in which he used a vulgar term to refer to the president's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Colbert was in Russia last week filming segments for the show in St. Petersburg.
