Among the celebrities, veteran Hollywood star Robert De Niro<\/a> and music legend Bruce Springsteen took jabs at the Trump administration<\/a>, inciting a response from the White House.<\/p>\n When De Niro was asked by Colbert what number he was thinking, which was a standard question he asked during the questionnaire, the Taxi Driver star said, \u201cOK. Cause I thought it would\u2019ve been two million point five, or two and a half million. That\u2019s the number of Epstein files Trump still hasn\u2019t released.\u201d<\/p>\n Bruce Springsteen, another vocal critic of Donald Trump, closed the show with a new protest song. \u201cI am here tonight in support of Stephen because you\u2019re the first guy in America who\u2019s lost his show because we\u2019ve got a president who can\u2019t take a joke,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cLarry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his a** to get what they want,\u201d Springsteen added, \u201cStephen, these are small-minded people \u2026 they got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about.\u201d<\/p>\n The White House hit back on Colbert after this episode. \u201cStephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck with no talent and terrible ratings, which is exactly why CBS canceled his show and is booting him off the airwaves,\u201d a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital<\/a>.<\/p>\n Both comments from the two icons, as well as the White House\u2019s response, received mixed reactions on social media platforms like X and Reddit.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Sourav Chakraborty on Mandatory<\/a><\/p>\n The post White House Slams \u2018Pathetic Trainwreck\u2019 Stephen Colbert For a Reason<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The White House hit back at Stephen Colbert after celebrities like Robert De Niro and Bruce Springsteen called out the Trump administration during their appearance on the penultimate episode of Colbert\u2019s long-running show.
