ROB SCHNEIDER: Colbert gets crash course in what freedom of speech really means

Rob Schneider reflects on Colbert's CBS firing, noting free speech has consequences as his show reportedly lost $40 million yearly while alienating conservative viewers

Rob Schneider is an actor and comedian who appeared on ‘Saturday Night Live’ from 1990-94 before going on to star in several movies. He is the author of a recent book, "You Can Do It!: Speak Your Mind, America."

Colbert fed liberal slop to his liberal-minded Kamala supporters and cared less about challenging them intellectually by actually appealing to their higher nature or engaging in thought-provoking debate. Nah, just keep sh---ing on half the country that is no longer afraid to say women don’t have penises and boys shouldn’t get to beat up girls in girls' sports. So while I support Mr. Colbert’s First Amendment right to free speech, that constitutionally only applies to the government not being able to silence you or seek reprisals. As for CBS/Paramount, they are a private company and they pay the bills… Or used to. So they can fire anyone they want! And Colbert, who earned an estimated $20 million salary, was reportedly losing the company $40 million per year.
